Ok , Here are the results.. If CTR of volume control touched NO sound ..

So I tried this.. I took out all the tubes and put them back in.. Now radio works.. Still almost NO noise but when I attached antenna the stations came in.. Needs alignment.. as not many stations at low end of band.. The volume control is flaky.. When you start to turn it up its gets loader until about 1/2 way then any farther the volume goes down and distorts.. See previous posts about control..

My guess is that I had a tube in wrong place..or maybe wasn't making good contact..

So now on the alignment and to see what I can do with the Volume control.. Anyone have alignment instructions?
