I just thought I would update this thread and let everyone know that I have it playing and it plays pretty well and the voltages look pretty good. I think I need to clean a couple of tube sockets as one of the 6J5 discriminator tubes has an intermittent filament (or maybe the filament is intermittent). Also the reception seemed a little weak on the lower BC band but playing with the 6L7 tube seem to cure it at least down to about 700Khz.

The speaker sounds good at low volume but when turned up rattles pretty bad. I am hoping when mounted and back on the speaker board it will be cured. It sounds really good though.

Finally, I should have my band scale mask in a couple and I'm going to need to tear apart the dial assembly. It works but it often takes a full turn before the dial scale starts to move. Also sometimes the fine tuning locks up with the normal tuning knob. I was really hoping I wouldn't have to tear into this. Also, my repro dial scale mounting whole was cut to small and I cracked the dial scale while enlarging it. Oh well, it will look more like an original dial scale I guess. Here is a link I have to a thread detail what I have done too the radio, http://antiqueradios.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=135859
