Today's Mystery Guest (RCA CTC-4)

The schematic indicates there should be three ferrite slugs inside the CW xfmr. Are all 3 present and intact? No doubt they've been diddled with if somebody's been in there before.

Also, you stated R246 is 22K, where the schematic shows it as 2.2K.
Is the replacement red-red-orange (22K) or red-red-red (2.2K)?
In any case, that would not stop the oscillator from running.
