Ok, after some more work, I found that R41 and R42 (on the Audio Output tube) were way off, so I changed them and sound got a little better. All others directly connected to the AO were within range.
Started checking around the 5U8 sound IF. I found that it seems my sound IF coil is bad. I get no reading. It's not shorted, but I'm not sure if its completely open either. All I know is that its too high for my meter to read, and its only supposed to be at 4ohm's. It is though, still affecting sound. When I stick my allen wrench in to adjust, it picks up on it, and will make more static sounds. and If I mess with it, and move it from its current setting, it will kill the sound that I do get now out of the set.
I also noticed I need to figure out how to adjust the fine tuning. I get the best sound when the picture starts getting wavy and distorted. I get scratchy, static-e sound when I move it to get the best stable picture.
