Jacques,? maybe look at ¡°scope¡± sweeps in here and some in just after posts I think.
I didn¡¯t get far, and misinterpreted scope face info.?? I have to copy then and add my own marks or I will get things wrong, so I did not get thru them, and ?I / we somehow went down another road [logging road] and got stuck, and it has rabbit holes too. ?
In case you are looking, I think all images in this thread are pasted in, [not attachments]
I¡¯m going to look at tank sweeps again . or whatever they are called these days.

Hi Don,
I followed this case more or less since Emanuele posted it, so be kind if I misunderstood anything about.
I remember that Emanuele complained about a complete loss of sensitivity in the lower part of the Bands 1 and 2: is it right ?
Does somebody already asked him to check the amplitude of the Local Oscillator at the low end of those two bands ?
My doubt is: this seems to be an alignment problem, but what will be the effect of a ¡°dying¡± LO on the low end of the BC band, for example ?
That can happen if the Q of the oscillator coils is lower than they should be, or if the 6SA7 is end-of-life (not enough gain).
