Well I couldn’t keep my hands off today! It keeps my mind going in circles at least until I know the condition of key components that could be show stoppers.
I’m happy to report that the only known defective coil is the shadow meter. There is an additional coil in an IF can that is not accessible without removing the cover which I’ll get to in the near future. I don’t expect it to be bad, but ya never know.
The power transformer runs cool after a 30 min burn in without the 80 plugged in, so that’s more good news.
Even the tubes test good for emissions with no shorts!
Next I’ll be researching how to rewind the shadow meter and making a list of resistors and capacitors I need.
