I found a problem with the speaker wiring and fixed that. I have sound through the speaker (a soft hiss) and the volume control is working but it’s not picking up a thing. I have an outdoor long wire connected to it and not even a hint of reception. I touched the grid caps and can hear it through the speaker but no “buzz”. However when I touch the #44 I.F. grid cap I get a loud whistle that last long after I remove the screwdriver tip. Also there is a .003mf cap on the antenna feed where it comes into the chassis that’s not on the schematic. I tried bypassing it but that didn’t help. I feel like I’m close. Any help? Icon_confused:
