Ok my friends. I wanted to let everyone who's been helping me know that I haven't given up.
On the contrary I can't wait to get back in there as this will be the final try.
Once the covers off it's staying that way until I get it right or with you advise decide it needs more help than I can give it.
In that case I'm going to send it out.
I'm confident this final go round will get it correct.
I've been so busy with Christmas shopping and other business related doings I haven't had the time to take care of it. Hopefully before or during the weekend the cover will come off and I'll get to sepirating the bottom part or the coil windings. Once that's done I'll tune it and check the capacitors mesh placement.
If I don't get it to mesh where I initially did after the first coil separation I'll slightly squeeze them back together and star from point A, by slight separating the.coil again.
If I get the proper mesh but still have lo output I'll assume replacing each 6lq6 with the best replacement I've got might be the way to go.
I'm going to do this over and over with the same replacement in each one of the nine original d&a tube sockets one at a time in hopes of finding a weak original 6lq6
I'm actually hoping once I get the capacitor to mesh as close to maximum capacitance the output will be where it supposed too be or close enough.
I'll post results then wait for y'all next advice. Once again thanks to everyone of you who've helped me with the first real diagnoses of a problem and hopefully repair of anything ive ever attempted. 73 and feeling optimistic I am.
The way it looks.
Happy camper.
