I fired up the radio and when I was tuning the radio I herd a pop and the transmit went to 0. The rf I could get is when I loaded it up on 80 meters and that was only about 10 watts.
I checked the 6146b tubes and they check out fine and so does the driver tube. The radio will adjust on the bias to 60 ma but that is it. I liked around for any blown caps or diodes and everything looks good. No shorted air cap wafers either. I even checked all of the diodes in the radio and they look good. I could not even see any thing blown. Yes this radio did come from a smokers house so I had to clean it up somewhat but that was 5 years ago. Receive works.
Any Ideas?
