I just purchased a 49-1609 from an antique store that had a bad wall plug..

I replaced the plug and it now has power, and the light turns on but there is not sound at all.

I have tested the speaker and it is functional

I ordered a new tube because one of the existing tubes was incorrect, hoping this solves the problem.

This is my first time really doing any electrical work/repair.

Please give me some advice and where to begin to get this baby playing music.

I tried accessing the site through our library and got the same response. It's reported to our tech gurus. GaryGarySP — 11:50 AM

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM
