Working on a 37-84 after fighting all of the crap a previous repair person left in it, I went for the power up. all I get is whistles in certain places on the dial that cannot be controlled by the volume control. I am going to peek at the osc coil primary ans see if it is toast as it has been on many others I have read about.

I have rebuilt all bakelite blocks, replaced the filers and replaced out of spec resistors.

anything else?
