Hi Fella's,
Brought home a 1934 Crosley 6H2 radio last weekend and seem to have a problem.
Radio was previously recapped, tubes check ok etc.
Powered it up and could not receive a station anywhere on the dial.
Did notice though that if I put my hand on the 6B7 tube it would pick up stations as it normally would.
If I even pass my hand over the top of the tube it comes in. Strongest if I put my hand on the tube.
Had this problem with another radio and found that the bias cell was open, which opened the circuit going up to a tube grid cap.
Don't see a cell in this one.
Any suggestions?
Thanks and merry x-mas to all.
