Here's a pretty closely related receiver. I have sought out a few accounts of other peoples' experiences with the East German radios. The person in the thread around this uploaded pic had had issues with the oscillator. He was seeking parts. I can't see any major problem yet with the oscillator circuit on my radio apart from one disconnected, fine coil wire which I re-soldered. I am not totally clear whether the actual valve can be at fault where you get no volts on the oscillator anode. I don't see why that isn't a possibility (faulty triode) but it is never mentioned. Therefore, I am gradually checking the circuit while cleaning with cotton buds. There is an enormous amount of grime so just getting all the wires and lugs clean and visible helps. I don't tend to rush ahead as I like to learn how the circuit has been put together at the same time.
