Thank you for your response. Sorry, I went to bed by the time this posted. I am new so be patient with me. I will learn what you guys need. I measured plate (pin 2) to ground on the 45 tubes and I agree with the current consumption thought. Also, I measured with the speaker plugged in. All the tubes in their proper place. I replaced all the caps in the can. 3 -.5 caps, 2-.15 caps, 1 1.0 cap and 2-2.0 caps as per the" Philco Condensers and More" book. I did not quite know if they wanted two .5 caps on pin 1 an 2 in the box or just one attached to pin 1 and 2. I didn't quite understand where you wanted me to measure on the speaker plug but I unplugged it and measured the two pins that go to the plates of the 45s and it was 636 ohms the other two were 353. Do you want me to measure the other two ways too? When I first turn the set on I hear a station and then it fades away as the tubes warm up if that helps.
