coils 38-116
#1

Have been busy working on my 38-116 code 121 replacing caps and resistors and noticed in the mid-section of the sub chassis a very fine hair like wire attached to a pin on the 6L7G tube in kind of unraveled condition.
Played with it for a while and realized that while wiggling,sound would cutout on the broadcast band.
Did what I could to carefully solder it to one leg of cap 14 that is attached to the same pin.
Works now,but I don't like the way it looks.
I suppose in order to fix it properly,I would have to remove sub-chassis and see which coil that coil wire goes to and see what the coil looks like.
I noticed that I have no sound on the 2nd band(1.5-4.8) but good reception on all the other bands.
Possible coil wire connection?
Acted the same on the broadcast band when that coil wire was disconnected.
Any suggestions?

You guy's were not kidding when you said this radio was not for beginers like me.
I just know enough to be dangerous,but I am learning more every day.
Appreciate the help from the pro's.
