The radio has been put back together and I powered it up with a dim bulb tester. It doesn't appear to have any shorts or other obvious problems. When it powered up, it just barely started to put out some audio--just the beginnings of some static, and then went silent. All of the tubes lit up. There's no smoke or hot-smelling components under the chassis. I think it's time to probe around and check voltages to isolate the problem, though I believe it may be another tube that I need to replace. The 50C5 was completely dead and the radio didn't show any signs of life until that one was replaced.

I now have an EICO 666 tube tester, so I'm going to test all of the tubes I didn't replace. However, one of the tubes doesn't show up on any of the EICO tube charts--not even on the latest (1978) version I downloaded from BACA. Anyone out there know how to test a 14B6 on an EICO 666?
