Good news Ron and crew,
Wired the rectifier socket per master Ron and the radio came to life.
It is receiving well to boot.
Apparently the previous owner attempted to replace the socket and wired it wrong.
It was wired to pins 1,7,3,and 5.
Ron told me it should be 7,8,3,and 5.
I wired it the same as the previous owner did and of course that was wrong.
Also discovered the center lugs were broken off of both 6L6 tubes and they were installed wrong as the timing was off.
This blew a resistor.
Replaced that and we now have a restorable chassis.
Many thanks to Ron and the forum.
Now for the re-cap.
