C49, a 470pF ceramic disc capacitor that goes from TS8-4 to chassis ground measures open (measuring the resistance across it, it quickly goes to O. L. from 25 MOhm and measuring it on my cap checker it measures 25pF, and when I measured the voltages across that cap my voltages were right there going to ground.
So am I onto something here?  |
Are you measuring C49 out of circuit? And even if C49 were open it would have no influence on the weird B+ voltages you're reporting. I'd say it's nothing more than a RF filter to the audio signal leaving the detector plate.
Next definitely for sure possibility please.
