Well, the radio is back on the bench and out of the cabinet. I found one problem, a partial short in the wiring around the 6Q7 tube between the hot filament line and the plate ! The routed the wire around the plate terminal, and somehow it must have eventually worn through the insulation. I can see the blackening from the arcing. That would also explain why the dial lamp blew out, and the funky voltage on the filament line.Things still aren't right so I have more chasing down to do.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
