ok, working on a 38-8. total recap, currently have shadow meter bypassed because the coil is open on it. fired up the set. no stations. I assume antenna should be connected to "red" terminal on back.
voltages on the tubes ( for the voltages I have #s for) check out ok.
I can put the signal gen on the red terminal and tune the sig gen to say 700 and I can tune the radio to 700 and there is my tone. I can tune both to other places on the dial and the tone is where it should be.
Now circuits appear to be working but something obviously is not or I would get stations.
What am I missing. bad tube?
I have cleaned the band switch.
