Hi all,
I've completed my first overhaul, replaced all capacitors including cans and bakelite block, (except mica), all resistors, new rectifier socket and tube. (this pic taken before I replaced the socket)
The good news is that it did not explode or burn out after powering up. All tubes lit, but I do not have a way to check if they are all good. Bad news is that I get no reception on AM or shortwave. I get a little air through speaker, nothing much else. 10' of 22G wire attached to red antenna terminal. Nothing attached to black.
What are the next steps to sorting this out? Thanks for any help you can lend this beginner.
