Thank you morzh. I will check the RF 1232 tube in the morning ( I'm at work now). I will also check the wires at the base as I know some were bad and maybe I missed something. It sounds like it is doing the same thing as before he gave it to me as he said it was smoking when he plugged it in. I smelled it when I got it and it smelled burnt in that area but I thought it was the transformer. The transformer was not hot but it did have some old hard wax on the bottom. This is a family heirloom and I really want it working for him to hear. He said he remembers listening to the old radio shows as a kid on this set. Thanks again.
