Wow, you guys are great, thanks for the quick responses!
DkinYORKpa - When I replaced the elec caps I cut one at a time and replaced according to the schematics. I do have a multimeter that I will use to check the voltage on the 80 per the scematics (should be 350 if i'm reading this correctly) I can tell you that all tubes are glowing orange when radio is turned on.
Ron - You are probalby right. I did take physics and electronics in college but that was years ago. I just was excited about this thing actually working some day! I actually think i've learned a lot so far. I've been working on this since November 2012 and been checking out youtube and read some posts. I'll try to put that video up on youtube tonight.
Thanks for the advice!
morzh - I was reading something today about adjusting the compensating condensors. I thought that might be the problem, when I went to adjust them (looks like there are 4 of them? 2 on the back under electrolytics and you can reach them from the back with a 1/4 socket I used 9mm instead and 2 on the bottom) anyway, it looks like I need a signal generator to adjust those properly.
All - I looked online for a signal generator and they are expensive. Any ideas?
I'll try to attach a video...
