Ok, Continuing: I went in and checked all connections again. I could not find anything wrong.. But something was causing the motor-boating.. So since I had ordered replacement tubes for this I decided to start substituting tubes one by one.. I stared with the first tube a 7A8 converter tube..

[Image: http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm38/...foiu1k.jpg]

Replaced with my second spare ( I always try to order 2 tubes just in-case) Glad I did that because when I replaced it the Radio started to play with NO motor-boating . Picked up all stations load and clear.

So I did a realignment and all peaked good. Now radio is playing great...

Question is:: What could have caused the tube to cause the motor-boating ? I checked the tube on tester and it tested fine.. Goes to show you that even if tube tester shows a tube good It may not work in all circuits...

Anyway now on to the phone section>>> Wish me good luck with that..
