Hello! I am new to this website,and am already glad with what little I have seen.Kudos to the originators!Anyway,I found a "223"in a secondhand shop.Looked at it here at home and found that it may have been dropped:mike connector is cracked;volume knob cracked;S-meter is pinned,and has a short circuit somewhere.It has the diode MOD in place of the rectifier tube.I used a lightbulb "fuse",then an induction motor to supply soft startup current to the radio and found the short.Found schematics here,will use them to Divide and Conquer(SIC).If I can,I will track my progress or Con-gress to either a vintage receiver or Boat Anchor.:bdh:
