KThanks for help on this!
Here are the facts so far...at some point, electrolytics were replaced (although not to spec on all). She passes the dim bulb test ( power consumption is 30 w and fired up with 40 w bulb). It powers up but weak and has low volume. Good news is I have a 38-12 in working order which has identical tubes to swap. My concern is with some initial testing. Attached is a picture of the Rectifier and tranny connections from the schematics. My primary winding has continuity as do the filament pins. When I read from the Rectifier plates I should get 1050 ohms. BUT, I only get 745. Checking from the green center tap to pin 2 is 380 and pin 3 is 360. This seems too low but looking for your expert advise.
