The last piece of the puzzle came: the Soviet 5U4 (5Ц3С) rectifier.
Got three of them. All three test as new or better.
Another refutation of the accusation to my Hickok. It works just fine. After I tested all thhree, I inserted the original 5U4 in, and sure enough it as dead now as it was then.
Well.....close...close am I getting to powering it up.
