So...I set the whole thing up (both chassis, woofer, and both tweeters) on the workbench and tried it out.
With the 690 set to band 1 (AM), I fed a 470 kc IF signal into the grid cap of the mixer tube.
Guess what...the signal came through loud and clear.
The tuner itself can pass an IF signal just fine; therefore narrowing the problem to the other RF unit. I've even aligned the IF strip already, also on May 20.
If it doesn't work this time around, I will be checking voltages at multiple locations to see if I can pinpoint the trouble. But I'm optimistic that this RF unit will work. One thing for certain...I will find out later today.
