Hola Jeepeto y bienvenido a nuestro Phorum!
As Terry just said, illustrating your questions with pictures always helps.
if you have never restored a VERY old tube device, the first rule is: don't plug it in and see "if it works". Chances are, it doesn't, worse yet, it might go up in smoke, and there's a little chance it still might "work" but it is very dangerous to use it that way.
The single unpleasant thing in these radios is the RF subassembly, but this is a simple radio and so the RF sub is simple too.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Thanks Morzh. So it appears I did wire it incorrectly and I have to switch the wires between pins 2 and 4.bobclausen — 09:24 AM |

No, it's not a problem, just during certain condition it could show up.
Yes, an internal tube short could do that too.
