Hello everyone, I'm new here, I was told by a friend that this was the place to find some real Ranger expertise.
I acquired a 'non functioning' Ranger at a good price in the hopes of resurrecting it.
After bringing it up, I found that the vfo and keyer seem to be functioning fine. There is no output however and on closer examination, I found the 5R4 was blown and the two 1614s have some shorted elements according to my Hickock. There is some obvious evidence of heat on r15 and r35 as well. Could it be that the one of the 1614s brought it down or is there something much more sinister. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
