If it is being driven with 50 watts or more and does not tune into a 50 ohm  load, I'd carefully inspect the entire tank circuit and wiring of the tank.  This includes the switch (as Herb suggested).

Thanks to all. I will go over it again today. I initially started out on 160 and then moved on to other bands. On 160 I could not get any increase in grid current, it came up but no increase with pla

Also check the contacts on the bandswitch. I have that amp and have a similar problem with 160 operation, apparently from burning out one of the contacts on the switch. It would be a bear to change o

My mistake on the last post.  The contact with nothing on it is when the bandswitch is in the 160 AND 80M position.  jimk2hn _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_

Ah, quick look at the schematic.  Nothing on that bandswitch lug.  Seeing some solder on it thought for sure something missing.  Black ungrounded wireschematic shows it grounded although just doubled

After a pretty thorough check on the ailing 160M section this what I have in mind and would appreciate any further suggestions.  All previous owner wiring is ok.  One missing connection is 10M mod. 1

Well, I'm glad it wasn't the switch, as that would be a bear to fix. Hopefully the capacitor will resolve your issue. Then you can join us on 160 and listen to the awful conditions :o) Happy holidays

If you can't find the exact value of 170pf the ceramic 5KV door knobs at 200pf will work. Better yet even a couple of 500pf door knobs in series will give you 250 pf which will just mean a little les
