I don't know, I subbed out some of the tubes including the Oscillator tube and its doesn't seem to be doing anything, and I'm not sure how to tell whether or not the oscillator is working.

Also all I'm getting from this radio right now is a low pitched buzzing noise (no its not 60 Hz Hum, as I know difference between that and the buzzing noise I'm hearing) the buzzing noise I'm hearing is affected by the volume control and the tone control switch.
