That's a shame. Is the interstage transformer open? Dang, this is starting to sound like a Philco with bad RF, Osc transformers! U may want to ohm out the rest of it. Shame, the thing does look clean. Wonder if it took a lightning hit?
Did U get the Cap Pack rebuilt?
You may be able to get away with subbing a resistor for R12 and connect a long wire to the RF Amp Grid cap so U can fire it up and find out what else U need.
