Mike was right, I did a lot of soldering (reheat). Still it did not fix it, one time when it would not osc. I got out my halogen work bench lamp turned it on and the radio came alive? The next time I touched my meter to the + of one of the Ecaps and it came to life. Took all wire's off the terminal and reapplied them and changed a resistor. It has now turned on fully three times in a row. I will do further testing.
Tubes were not the problem like I had thought.
Thanks Mike
