All the caps have been replaced, the resistors have been checked, wiring is all good. Powered it up on the variac and got nothing but very low level static. No volume control. No stations. Not even a hum. Just barely audible static. The 24's filaments are very unevenly lit as well (one bright, one really dim, one in between). Considering this is my oldest set and my first TRF.. I'm open to suggestions. Thanks!
