Hi Hick and welcome to the Phorum,
Well it's time to fire up the soldering iron and replace the wax/paper caps. While you've got the cap disconnected if it as a resistor hooked to it it would be a good time to measure it to see if it is close to it marked value. Resistors that have caps connect to won't measure correctly with the cap still connected. Then you've got a few electrolytic caps in the power supply that must be replaced as they will short and cause a lot of damage.
After you do that you can start troubleshooting and figure out why it's not working. Maybe after the cap replacement it may work!
We must have been neighbors cause I grew up in the sticks too! What part of the sticks are you in??
If you need any help figuring this set out there are lots of smart and friendly guy's and gal to give you sound advice.

You might want to send Chuck a note, he can hook you up with the original service info. They're nice clean copies of all the info. Sometimes the free service info is hard to read and incomplete.

Just looked at the schematic that's one Bad A.. set. Should really rattle yer windows!!!
