41-250 No sound, glowing 41 tube, can't be a good thing
#13

She's singing again! (and I'm an idiot! Icon_redface ) Thanks, Richard, for pointing me in the right direction. When I started checking the grid bias on the 41s, I found that I had connected one lead of the output transformer primary to the grid pin instead of the anode (one pin off). The radio sounds great (what a rich sound) on all bands, except SW is picking up some static from the furnace blower motor. Pushbuttons work as well. I feel fortunate I didn't destroy something. I'm sure I took a few years of life out of the output tubes.
Thanks, again, for everyone's help. My next project will be 46-350 with a blown up multi-cap. That should be interesting.
Bob
