Richard, yours in black from previous, my adder in red
Not sure I understand your question so feel free to disregard this if its nonsense. T-10, 11, 12, 13 are the plate tank of the RF amplifier stage. The common connections go to B+ the other side go to one side of the the band switch.
?
The secondary coils go to the other side of the bandswitch which then goes to the signal grid of the mixer tube. ?Yes ,
and the secondary coils? seem to be tied together at the bottom? ..but ?otherwise floatingso how does it couples to the grid unless inherent capacitance holds the common bottom to ground.
I was hoping to keep this topic about the circuit ?and not the Problems in Tom’s radio.
