Tubes removed...ok then, acceptable.

Still.


1. Establish the field coil and the 27 choke clntinuity.
2. Establish​ the output xfmr primary continuity, both halves to centertap.
3. Assuming the 71A tubes are good (and if truly bad they can kill res#25 1-2 section or output xfmr)
4. WITHOUT the rectifier power the radio and measure the 80 filament voltage: 5V AC.
5. Measure the rest of the filament voltages: 2.5V
6. Measure the ACbetween the two plates of the 80: see the chart but should be around 500V or more.
7. If all passed, power down, put in all tubes, plug in the speaker, connect the meter on DC to B+ and power up. Wait about a minute for the voltage to rise, see it bo around 300+V or so. See the chart for actual value.
8. Measure plate voltages.

Power down.

Watch for smoke and be prepared to power down.

PPS. Hi voltage (plates, B+) can kill you or put you on your butt: be careful.
PPPS. Make sure the speaker cord is good, no shorts, insulation reajages etc.
