A little update, I got my 2 D-Cell Battery Clip today that I ordered from Radio Shack last Week, and I wired it up just like you guys suggested with a couple of 1N4007 Diodes wired in series with the Positive wire for the Battery clip and that then in turn was wired to the radio's "A" Battery hookups.
I was able to get the radio to work for a little bit (with my signal generator hooked up for a signal source) and I was able to get the test tone to go through the Antenna hookups properly (it was actually coming in where it was supposed to on the dial and not all across the dial like it did before).
Then going through the grid cap of the 1C6 tube I was also able to get the signal through there as well (but it was coming in all across the dial and not at just one spot like it was supposed to).
But then when I went to try and adjust the IF Cans to make sure they were peaked correctly the signal would cut in and out and then it finally completely cut out to the point that I can't get anything out of the radio audio wise anymore, and I did check the batteries to make sure there was enough juice and there was plenty of juice in the batteries, and they were putting out 2.3 Volts.
I'm still waiting on my capacitors (checked the tracking and they are supposedly arriving on Friday (which is kind of rediculous because I shouldn't of had to wait almost 3 weeks for my parts to come like this).
Anyone have any ideas as to what may have happened to my radio?
Thanks.
