Trouble getting started
#10

Eric, time to check some voltages. Try the plate voltage of the output tube. Should be a couple hundred volts DC. I have not looked at the schematic to see what you have. A great test is to touch a metal object like a screw driver to the center tap of the volume control with the radio on and the volume all the way up. If you get a good loud hum, we know the amp and speaker are working and you have some high voltage. Report back!

Here is the schematic for one version of the above radio.
