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!

Jerry

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