I didn't do a whole lot of testing tonight...was just happy to get something out of it. But it's definitely more like an old electric shaver. It may be that the contacts need to be cleaned on the vibrator...I didn't take the shell off of it yet. There is a ground wire and an antenna wire, and I didn't do anything with the ground wire, but thinking back, it's not going direct to chassis ground. ie, I don't get continuity from the end of the wire to the chassis itself. It looks like it may a floating ground. I also didn't have the tube shields on yet, as I wanted to make sure the tubes were lighting first.

My preliminary readings...both with no load...are from the 24 V transformer I get 27 VAC out. With an 8 amp bridge retificer & 100 mfd cap I had 37 VDC.
