Hello All

Did some extensive checks & found/did the lollowing....

Replaced all resistors out of tolorence. Ordered caps so I can recap radio. While waiting for caps, checked all voltages. Found the following...

All power xformer voltages between the taps are good.
24A 1st & 2nd rf....
2.1v pins 1&5 filament plate 325vdc pin2 114vdc grid pin 3
0vdc grid cap 8.6vdc cathode pin 4

24a detector....
2.1v pins 1&5 filament plate 0vdc 6.6vdc grid pin 3
0vdc grid cap, 1.1vdc cathode pin 4

27....
2.1v pins 1&5 filament plate 150vdc pin 2 -0.6vdc grid pin 3
0vdc cathode pin 4

71s....
4.8v pins 1&4 filament plate 325vdc pin 2 -8vdc grid pin 3

80...
700vac between pins 2&3 5v pins 1&4 filament

Just a novice, but isn't the plate voltage on the detector tube 24a supposed to be around 35vdc. Can someone narrow down the problem for me? THANKS!!! Joe

Thankyou for the kind words sir. I double checked it with my component tester and it read 2.7 ohms at .02mH.Stormlord5500 — 08:14 AM
