Quick check confirmed it, pins 2 and 3 were open on that tube. I swapped a new resistor in and swapped in another 35Z5. I'm back to testing, though I'm still waiting on the parts for my station before moving forward much more.
Are there any solutions for injecting signals without a signal generator? I have a signal generator, a Heathkit SG-8, but I haven't restored it yet. I'm trying to decide whether I should step back and get that work so I can start injecting signals, or if there's something else I could use.
I have one of those AM radio transmitter kits, tested and working. Do you think I could clip in a lead from the antenna output via a coupling capacitor and start injecting along the grids of each tube?
