If you guys are still with me I might have found something. Using my signal tracer the signal coming out of the 6K7 plate is very loud and not very clear but that maybe just overloading the tracer. This would be the white wire of the 2nd IF coil 2XB. The signal coming out of 2XB, red wire, is very low with some buzzing and maybe distortion. The signal going into the ungrounded diode (green wire of 2XA) is weaker than what was on the plate of the 6K7 but clearer than what was on the red wire (no buzz). Is this normal?
