philco 40-180 consol,
#1

gentlemen, I am at my wits end, i have recapped about 20 old radios of many brands and all i have is a multimeter, i have ordered a tube tester and now  my problem is my 40-180, it has a loud hum and no audio before i changed the caps it had a very low audio, and now no audio, i am just a beginner and i happen to like old radios, i would appreciate any advice you can give. thank you...
