Dave, Googled "Lavoie WWV" and found a manual for $15 at http://www.classicradiomanuals.com/catalog/news111.htm
Found something I wrote in 2008 in the timenuts archives that said the WWV carrier intensity modulated the circle. I recall some limiter stages used to remove signal strength variations. This is not consistent with a vertical line that varies with strength. Maybe someone tried to modify the set to do Lissajous patterns. Isn't email wonderful? Statements are so easily taken out of context. Can't imagine what that does to tweets. You said, "I was able to power it up without anything exploding." I instantly thought of a guy I'd seen at an auction. He got a rare old clock radio used by motels for wake-up calls. As soon as he got his hands on it, he took it to an outlet and plugged it in. As luck would have it, it didn't smoke. So I applied this worst-case scenario to you because the context that was missing was that you knew your way around vacuum tube gear.

Do you have anything particular to suggest that I can try with the LA-800D at this time? My current plan is to wait until I can find the schematics before I try anything else. Your info below is helpful but matches most of my assumptions while troubleshooting it before. Didn't think about the intensity however, was expecting to get just a lissoujous pattern of some sort. However, all I get now is just a vertical deflection that is proportional to the strength of the WWV signal.
