116X Help
#8

Got the set all recapped and reresistored and it seems to work ok but very little AVC voltage, will have to work on that. Peaked the IF all up and still really low AVC. Found two other things that look to be factory but not shown on any diagrams, no cathode resistor or bypass cap on the RF and the first IF tubes.
Other than the AVC issue it seems to work well and sounds really good, should be impressive in the cabinet.
