Good news!
I went for broke and put in my new 84 tube and cut it on. All the tube lit up and the transformer stayed cool as a cucumber!! I even got static out of the speaker!! I've not heard anything from this thing till now. I didn't have the antennas attached so I guess that's why I didn't hear anything but static.
My static got more bass as I turned the bass knob and also got louder and quieter when I turned the volume knob. So i think everything is coming together and I believe the transformer is still good.
Now i'm going to do some more cleaning to the chassis and check all my connections and attach the antennas. Anyone have good suggestions on what they'd do next?
