Progress report:
It's alive - sort of.

After finding four weak, gassy and/or marginal tubes and replacing them, it is playing very well on band 2 (SW 1 - 2.3 to 7 mc). Notice also that in a normally illuminated room, that band 2 is illuminated fairly well with the 14V incandescent lamp which I will leave in place.
On the 31M band, it is picking up a little bit up to 9.5 mc where it sounds like the oscillator drops out.
Nothing on the AM band, as it appears the oscillator is dead on AM.![Icon_sad Icon_sad](https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
I'm currently using a test speaker. I had forgotten that the cone on the original speaker is shot:
