Touched up all display board connections and now I get two lines on the right side of the display. Mostly symbols and 8s and 9s. I can use the rate push to select all 9s hoping to
hear WWV but no joy. I can find some cw signals that sound good but no sure where they are. Some SSB but hard to tune in.
Progress but as still some work to do.

Powered up at 9 volts and no smoke! Draws about 100 ma and audio out can be controlled and tune appears to work and mode / band does something. Connecting an antenna increases the noise so it appears the receiver is working.
But nothing appears on the display except for the backlight. Turned the pot from stop to stop with no results.
I’m going to touch up all 16 of the display header pins. What a bad place for a soon to be 83 year old duffer to be soldering. Why couldn’t that bave been added to the display board before mounting?
Any other thots?
