Thanks, Ron. I'll give that a try.

I had gone ahead and put a 1K ohm resistor in since the one in there looked like an original part.

I plugged it in without any tubes, the pilot lights lit and the fuse didn't blow. So I put all the tubes in and fired 'er up.

There's no radio static at all, but the audio section is alive. You can hear a very faint hum that's probably from my fluorescent bench lights and the speaker lets out a little pop when you turn the band switch.

I hope it just needs an alignment because I'm almost out of time.
