Yesterday was terrible it was one step forward three steps backward! I ended up replacing the volume and tone controls, they were not original as the values were off and they had dead spots so I had some that were close and put them on. I caused a ground to the plate of the 6B6 when I replaced the lead to the grid cap when I had the shield reinstalled a lead was touching the shield but didn't know it and wondered why it is drawing a bit more and I lost all sound? I went this morning and took that IF can apart and saw what happened. Also found a broken solder tab and repaired that. Hooked up the signal generator and I was able the peak both IF's after unhooking the SG I got beautiful static and turned the dial and picked up a station.
I will probably leave it with the one output tube as it plays fine and it is part of the family history.

Thanks Terry and Mike for your help.
