I started but ran into a different radio behavior after I turned the chassis inverted. During power up I would initially get low volume, then the click, then a high pitch loud squeal. This behavior was not consistent. Sometimes the radio would work as it previously did with the chassis upright. I sprayed Deoxit into the volume control as best I could and I moved some wires slightly that looked like they might be in hard contact with a metal edge. Also, when I touched the cap of the 75 tube I got a lot of loud hum and some squeal. I replaced the 75 tube. The radio now powers up to a low volume state with no click. As I turn the volume control up, a high pitch tone/squeal starts about midrange on the volume control and gets louder as I increase volume. I will start again to measure voltages and see what I get.
