Terry (radioroslyn) is not only exceptional at troubleshooting these radios, but a very patient man for putting up with me!

He rather quickly led me to a problem in the #33 bake lite condensor that was sending 160v to the control grid.  Turns out that I shorted the legs of the two capacitors inside the bake lite  Icon_sick

The radio is back up and running now (Thank you Terry!).  But I still have the motor boating problem.  If I tune in a strong channel the motor boating goes away, but it overwhelms most week channels.  If I put back in the incorrect IF tube (77) motor boating goes away.

Any advice on tracking down this problem?

Matt
