The radio is now working and electronically finished. One of the coils in the RF section was hooked up wrong. As well, I found out you cannot sub a 6Q7 for the 6R7 on this set. It plays poorly with a washed out, poor sound quality. The tube sockets on this radio were very fragile. Thanks for all of your help!
