Well it seems that allmost every electronic part in this radio is bad, i`ve found a couple resistors within + or- 20 percent so far.
All those block bakelite are bad, but the coils seem to ohm out ok so far. Done changed out the filter caps with one 22UF 450 volts and one 10UF 450 volts.
All those old bypass wax caps have been changed and I decided to plug it in for a test burn.
Well static and a loud burst of energy when I touch the 75 tube. Well its turned off now untill another evening.
This radio has got some very sloppy soldering from the factory but thats going well allso.
