Antique Radio Technical Forum
Crackling problem solved, but can't receive stations.

::Be sure to check the plate and screen grid wiring, since the voltage is kind of low there. Also, check the main filter resistor in the B+ circuit for drifting. Perhaps with the added strain of the shorted IF transformers, the resistor drifted, though 80 volts is probably still enough for the radio to work properly. Sounds more like a mis-wire.

:Ok, I'm really getting frustrated. I measured the osc coil and I've got approx 1 ohm on one side, and 6 ohms on the other. The low side connects between pin 2 of the 12BE6 and the B-. One end of the high side connects through 47pf cap to one side of a 120 ohm resistor at pin 8 (terminal pin) and the strator of the tuning cap. The other side connects to the AVC at the output of the 1st IF trans.
:Here, (hopefully), are some diagrams.

:Shouldn't I be able to force a osc signal from my unmodulated RF signal generator at pin 1?
:Aarrgghh-
:This thing is driving me crazy.

Try to follow these colored paths Terry to insure you've got it all correct..
Maybe it will help you a little easier.
