Browning Golden Eagle Mark III arcing plate tune cap

#412074

Post by ziglig »

Hello,
I'm not new to tube gear but I'm new to these radios. I got the receiver working but when I went to try to key up the transmitter I got arcing on the tuning cap. I thought maybe it was just out of tune at first but it was arcing no matter what I did. Then after looking at the schematic it seemed I was missing some parts and that the final tube had been swapped out with a 6201.
Because the 6201 is not a perfect match for the stock 7558 I figured maybe someone had modded the final section, but now I'm starting to think I'm just missing parts. Here is a photo of the final section that seems to be missing stuff.
Do I need to rebuild this whole section using the schematic, or what is going on here?
