OK, that makes sense then.
So then I was able to get this thing to pick up some stations but unfortunately the audio was super quiet, the volume control in order to even hear anything had to be turned up full blast which I'm assuming isn't normal, but there isn't any audible 60 cycle hum either coming through the speaker when its running so I don't know what's going on, I don't know if I have a weak interstage (42 tube) or what, and unfortunatly I have no way to test the tubes in this set because my tube testers I have don't test the older 4, 5 and 6 pin tubes. is there a way to test those older tubes without a tube tester?
