Been awhile but the rectifier tube arrived before I got the diode and that solved the B+ voltage problem. Still had no response at all except if I touched the output tube grid. Without a tube tester I swapped tubes to find the problem and finally get good broadcast volume on our local am stations. Lost my radio virginity to a 42-322 Icon_biggrin There does seem to be more hum between stations than there should, any thoughts on that? Need to see if SW comes in tonight.
Time to work on the cabinet too.
Cheers,
Bob
