#16
Wink 

Hello friends!!! Happy new year!!!
Back in action after a long time...
After replacing 7B7 tube, noise heard but not music  Icon_biggrin So i started checking DC values... results was not good, but restored. Still no reception... "digging" continued and found something interesting...

...Z1 transformer seem to have (at the schematic) 5 active pins (1, 3, 4, 5 & 6) although at the radio are only 4 (1, 3, 4 & 6). So pin #4 of 7B7 tube seem to have ...nowhere to connect. Furthermore, this tiny, white component with the red line in the middle, i have no idea what might be...

Thank you in advance!!!
