Hello, I have been working on a 3165 Grundig Majestic that has no FM reception. The other bands are working properly. All tubes are tested good. weak capacitors were replaced with exception of the main electrolytic multicap which is slightly high but does not seem to be a problem. I can detect no breaks or anything loose. Voltages to the ECC85 tube are as follows: 1=197v, 2=-.02v, 3=1.30v, 4=0v, 5=0v, 6=104v, 7= -.549v, 8=0v and 9= 0v. If I read the schematic correctly I should have 133v on pin 6 and 210v on pin 1 so these seem low.

Initially I very briefly was able to dial in one FM station but it was faint and quickly faded away. Nothing since. I suspected a bad tube and did find the ECC85 was also not as strong and would drop off. Replacing it with a strong tube made no difference.

Normally I am very successful with AM and SW sets and require minimal equipment. My experience with FM is limited. 

Thank you for your assistance and patience.
