Need some help with a 1934 model 84. Been 50yrs +- since playing with tubes radio or tv. Trying to get this beauty running for my son. Any advice is welcomed.
Turns on ,humms loud as you bring vol up. Checked resistors,some grounds,looks like a few changes,vol control has 2 black plastic leads now attached to ant term and if transformer,and not shure why. Looks like someone lifted a resistor an reconnected it to where it was but with 7 strands of silver wire about 5/16 long! Otherwise im going to continue checking thigs as i can. Found some weird mods any ideas? Then hunt for some needed parts original cord types,grill cloth,grid cap, hopefully finding

Finally after 50 plus years I'm back into the hobby again. It's like trying to relearn a second language some of it makes sense and some of it doesn't! Could be fun now considering my son is now into old radios and tube technology!
