Unfortunately the underside of the chassis does not look original anymore. But I'm not too concerned with that ....I just want it to work properly. Usually when the radio is cold is when it does not oscillate . After it plays for a few minutes I can turn it off and back on and it fires every time after that. Replacing # 35 resistor with the proper value didn't seem to help. Maybe I should go lower to a 7k or 6k if ya'll think that would help. thanks for your interest .

I probably would go below 6K. Lowering this resistor stimulates the tube to be a bit more active.
