While in there working on tracing wires and connections, I noted a waxy-like substance on a couple wires coming out of the main transformer. I know enough that I panicked a bit. I thought one of the windings of the main transformer might have heated up and might be bad.  I did find a bad 6A3 when testing tubes.  

So, I took the time at this point to check all the windings of the main transformer. I'm happy to report that all check out fairly close to original specs.   I will, however, be cautious and keep an eye on voltages and temperatures when I power it up.

I have my annual October radio show listening party coming up on October 21. I'm hoping I can at least have the radio of this beauty up and running for the party.
