OK OK ok,.. I found out, after driving myself nuts,... the antenna needs to be hooked up to complete the circuit..
So,.. it came to life this morning.. I still had a hum, and no volume control.. no matter how I turned it, the volume control did nothing.. one more look found the center tap dead.. I was able to open the pot up and fix the tiny broken wire..
I gained a volume control and quieted the hum.. As soon as the rubber parts come, I'll finish up..
Maybe an alignment..
