Joe -
Are you sure it was actually ON 80M? Was the RF TUNE in the appropriate
position for 80M? Most likely NOT an alignment issue unless someone has
been 'fixing' the alignment.
The IF of the transmitter is 5.645 MHz, and if the PTO, BAND Osc or
Premixer stages are not working it's possible to tune the transmitter up
on either 5.645 MHz or 11.29 MHz.
So listen on the receiver to see what frequency it's really on, and go
from there. If you have the R-4B, connect them for transceive and see
if the transmitter works with RCVR control.

My earlier posted weird voltages resolved themselves after making sure
the relay was working. Now voltages look normal.
Good news: I was able to crank out 150 watts on 80 meters into a dummy
load. There's life in this old girl!
However, I can't get any output on other bands. I noticed when I tuned
up on 40 meters if I move the RF tune control down into the 80 meter
range I get plate current. But, no plate current when the RF tune is
where it should be. No output on the other bands no matter where the
RF tune control is positioned.
Does this sound like an alignment issue?? I'm so new at this I feel
like a novice again. I guess I am... but, that's OK. I'm just real
happy she put out RF on 80 meters.
As always, suggestions welcomed and much appreciated.
