Usually when the radio is cold is when it does not oscillate . After it plays for a few minutes I can turn it off and back on and it fires every time after that. Replacing # 35 resistor with the proper value didn't seem to help. Maybe I should go lower to a 7k or 6k if ya'll think that would help. thanks for your interest .

I probably would go below 6K. Lowering this resistor stimulates the tube to be a bit more active.
