Thanks Garey and Richard.

I found the -55 volts missing at T5 centre tap. Pulled the transformer and found it had come apart inside at the point where the centre tap is attached to the winding. Just age I guess. I had some fun with the transformer base as with age this has become quite brittle and would easily disintegrate.

All fixed now.

Thanks.

Today I have been trying to finish up a C line pair but have a snag that is most likely going to mean digging into the TX. When switching to XMTR on the TRANSCEIVE switch the light goes out on the R4C but it still tunes the receiver. If I switch on the calibrator and disconnect the antenna I can just hear the transmit vfo when it sweeps across the cal point.

Looking at the INJ output with an analyser I see about +4dBm on the receiver but only about -20dBm coming from the transmitter.

Swapped the 6EJ7 premixer tube to no avail so I guess its a bad cap or summat. Anybody seen this one before? Might save me some time.
