could a bad oscillator tube cause the problems I'm having? I'm asking because I know the original Rectifier tube (an 80)  was shorted so it wasn't allowing the radio to power up at all, so I wonder if the oscillator tube is bad as well? I hadn't had a chance to test every single tube inside the radio yet.
