Recount the pins and/or check R17. This is a "keyed" cathode, which is grounded through R17 (along with the cathodes of V1a, V2 and other keyed stages) by a relay contact or the FUNC switch. So IF there really is 143V on Pin 7 with the transmitter keyed, R17 is open or disconnected.

Hello,

I'm working on a T-4XB which has no output. The Power Supply had some ripple of the 250 Volt output, so I rebuilt the Power Supply. Replaced all of the lytics. Replaced the diodes with heaver duty 1N4007's. Replaced the 2 conductor cord with a three conductur grounded cord. Replaced the .01 noise caps with X1/Y2 discs and changed out the 1 watt bleeders with 2 watt resistors.

On the transmitter, I tested all tubes, changed out the only 2 paper caps thqat I could find, and cleaned all switches, tube sockets etc.

Now there is still no output. Measuring voltages, I found that the cathode of Tube V-3 on Pin-7 has 143 Volts DC on it. I know it cannot work with more than a couple of volts on the cathode. Any ideas/suggestions?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Best,
73's
