Did some checking later last night and it appeared to be the transformer, even though I had already checked it for resistance to the chassis.. I just knew it was the transformer leaking.. I isolated the transformer from the chassis this morning..
I still get AC voltage..
It does seem like I'm chasing something that really isn't there.. the more I test, the less sense it makes.. The radio seems to play ok,
voltages at the tubes seem to be in line.. I think I will do the alignment and call it done.. I do have a little hum now but I hope that will go away once the y-caps are back in..
