Brach,
Problem found, me thinks. All solder joints look OK, paper insulator not punctured so I was buttoning it back up and lo! The Triad in Q3 is backwards… I’m guessing this is not good for signal quality. I was going to make something up touting my diagnostic abilities but bottom line, I goofed. I’m not going to be able to remove and reinstall safely so please sir, can I have some more?
Let me know what I have to do to get another one. Thanks and for anyone reading this thread, you can’t check your work enough. Live and learn.
