"DO NOT PLUG IT IN" (and dont use 409 on the dial) Icon_mrgreen

This is what I learned the day I joined. It could burn up or blow tubes.
The capacitors under the chassis (metal piece with the tubes on it) and some of the resistors are most likely bad. Pics would be good, the guys here usually can pop out the brand and model pretty quickly. Oh and welcome.
