howdy fellow radio saddists!
i'm currently torturing these beast of an rca and as it turns out it's me being tortured.

now to start this off fair and square,this thing in my opinion is not worth the new caps it would take to properly rebuild it-that said,i have replaced the electrolytics and 2 other caps,plus 2 open 470k resistors,same problem as original-no reception.

i'm fairly certain the oscillator is not working,is ther a voltage check i can do to confirm/deny operation?

all voltages listed on schematic here are present and accounted for,thanks,phil
