Philco 37-670 -- No Reception!
#6

Yes, don't rush the restore, finish the rest of the servicing by checking all coils for continuity, replacing the paper capacitors, test the resistor values, check voltages at the tube sockets and clean controls and switches. Then check out the audio section operation by touching the grid of the first AF amplifier with a screwdriver. If you don't get a hum with the volume turned up, fix it. Then go on to the RF section. Let us know how you get to this point. Good luck, stay focused. There are a lot of old parts in there!
