The issue you have is that you need a transformer that has a 2.5v filament winding to power most of the tubes on this chassis. By late '32 and onward manufactures were using up their older 2.5v tube and started in on using the new 6.3v tubes. These were more compatible with auto applications and other battery powered uses.
The transformers w/a 2.5v winding are still available but are some what limited and expensive. Some folks will retube the chassis w/6v tubes and use a 6v transformer but on your set there isn't a simple replacement for the 47 tube. It would require a socket change to a 6 pin socket and a 42 tube.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
