I apologize for not responding sooner. Thanks for the inputs. Finally got back on the radio and hooked up all the caps, installed new P-P transformer, replaced the toggle switch. Turned it on hooked to variac without tubes and got it up to 110. all the filament voltages were ok. Next step I guess is to install the tubes. All of the 26 tubes were in the radio when I bought it years ago, checked for continuity on filament pins which are ok but dont know if they will work. (no tube tester). Got the new 71A's and a 27. Have to go back thru all of y'alls notes and hints to remember where to check the tube voltages. I try to keep a file with everything people post on this. Without all of the help yall provide this old man would be in serious trouble.
Thanks,
George
