Any ideas, tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
PA works okay, ferrite in L16 is noticeably cracked as is the primary in the double can by TR2 (unmarked)
Would the cracked ferrites cause this, i don't think so but I've never encountered a busted ferrite until I got inside this radio.
TR16 doesn't show much gain (i think) (c458)
TR15 shows gain. (A844)
Also the collector on TR14 was clipped, I soldered a leg on it but I don't know if the c458 is still any good.
I can probe around anywhere with the scope, i'm just not experienced enough yet to know how to diagnose this radio.
I have added 56 ohms to the base of TR20, and replaced D14 with a 1N4148.
Power mics make no difference!
VR5 is dead in the water also, meaning it makes no difference.
