I am new to working on Philco's and I am restoring a model 40-195. I have worked on Zenith 1950's vintage, but nothing of this generation. The set was given to me so I figured why not.

I replaced all the paper capacitors, crumbling wires, resistors, 2 electrolytics and the 6J8G tube which was missing. The set lights up, tubes light up and the magnet area of the large speaker gets warm. The issue I am having is there is no sound, no hum, nothing. I am not sure if it worked before I replaced the older parts since, I was told it did not.

Looks like someone worked on it at some point before me and gave up.

I have not tested the tubes, not sure how to on the Hickok 600 tube tester I have as these tubes are unlike others I have tested before.

Any ideas would be appreciated!
