SX-100 failure
Given an SX-100. It doesn't work.
Chassis and interior in good shape, no corrosion. Lights fire up when
turned on. Attached Hallicrafters 3.2 ohm speaker (or headphones if
plugged in) hums, and I hear scratchy noises when I change across the
bands or switch to phono. S-meter moves across the dial when I spin the
sensitivity knob.
But, it doesn't actually receive anything, and the S-meter does not
move as I traverse the bands nor does it change as I move within a
band.
Suggestions on priorities for troubleshooting, by tube replacement or
otherwise, appreciated. I feel the detector is the place to start?
Have a multimeter, is all. In Portland (OR) Metro area.
