It is playing. Five minutes ago it had started playing.

I went to Lowe's in the morning, bought some grommets, rubber washers for padding and metal ones to add a bit.
Also added one tube shield - was missing. Luckily a year ago I bought a few in Kutztown, a guy was selling them inexpensively.
Changed those for the speaker, inserted tubes, set the variac to first see the pilot light glow, then set it to 80V, pulled my local station, increased it to 120V.
Seems ok.

I still need to buy some rubber cement for the speaker (forgot in Lowe's), then to restuff electrolytics so could use them instead of the axials, clean the dial....oh....the tone control!

Alignment of course.
Still work to do.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
