Hello,

I have a Philco 49-909 that was my great grandmothers and would like to hear it play again. I replaced all the tubes except the 117Z3 tubes. It just hums...the humming seems volume adjustable...but there are zero radio stations to be heard. I am a complete and total novice but I do know how to solder...lol. Is there someone here familiar with this radio that can steer me in the right direction?
