I went through a whole roll of solder wick and as I await Lauren Sanchez's main squeeze to send me another roll, I took a look at the transmitter circuits.
The test set up is to sample the output of the 12BY7A as seen from the Grid Input of the 6GE5's. Doesn't look too bad and sounds OK.
Later today, I hope to see the smiley truck show up with another roll of solder wick so I can attack the off-value resistors in the receive circuits.
Them that know can make it go.

No Drama up here at Newbury Park and so no military presence is evident. Shades of 103rd and Grape Street (Center of Watts) and think forward 60 years and now a photo op.
