I have a 5Y4GA on order. Thanks Morzh, I can now picture in my head what you are talking about for an adapter. I will do that when I have a chance and use it for further troubleshooting.

I actually got the radio playing last night. The tube glowed purple for maybe a few minutes, then soon dissipated as the radio warmed. I kept it on for over an hour and it played well while keeping a close eye on it. So hopefully this still points to a failing tube.

Ron brought up a good point. A few times I have experienced times where the radio would go silent switching between bands. Rotating the band switch a few times would bring it back to life. Is the carbon track problem repairable? Spray or disassembly?
