Also May 6.

I carried both tuner and amp chassis back upstairs (one at a time, naturally) and put both chassis back into the cabinet, where the speakers were still attached.

I hooked everything up through a Variac and slowly applied power.

The set came on...nothing bad happened...but...

NOTHING.

The only thing I could hear was The Sounds of Silence.

Only when I rotated the band switch knob I could hear static, but other than that...nothing.

So...I decided to go try and enjoy Kutztown and forget about this project for awhile.
