So today I'm going through the whole thing again and I notice pin 7 of the 1st IF 7B7 has nothing on it. It's the cathode of that tube. Schematic says it should be grounded. So you can imagine how well the radio worked after I grounded that pin. Sings like a bird. A little tweaking here and there and every aspect of it is working fine.

I can only say thank you very much for all the time you devoted to helping me with this thing. I believe I've told you before that I print out most of your stuff for future reference. Something I have learned from all this is how to properly induce the signals into a radio to troubleshoot the various stages and even align when necessary. Audio circuits also. I've successfully rebuilt about ten radios in the past year and a half that I've been doing this and I've just never had the problems before.

I probably will keep coming to NA now that the administrator has hopefully put another end to the bickering that seems to be going on between whom ever.

So thanks again for all the help,

Johnny P.S. I have a couple nice 1N34 diodes if anyone needs them. lol
