Thank you Ron...yes I removed the bottom and saw the coils in the 3 large cans and I have saved the first installment in the 65 restoration series as a favorite. I'll be referring to it and all of the subsequent parts as I go at this beauty. Since I'm new to the forum, I assume you are Ron of Ron's Radios? If so, the website is fantastic with great documentation of restorations. So the capacitor can in front of the transformer is where 4 capacitors live? It's part 3515 and contains 0.15, 1.0 and 2 2.0 caps? I measured resistance from the 80 tube to ground and got about 180 ohms on both leads (plate and filament?). What else should I do to test the transformer? Again, as in my other threads, forgive my stupid questions and electronic vocabulary as I'm new to the hobby and this forum.
