CT-2 is a 1935 radio ,I've restored a few . A good rule of thumb is a 6 volt car radio will use one amp pre tube + an amp for the field coil on the speaker, check tube sockets for possible shorting, that may be your arcing , low voltage you will get some signal but not enough to get station check your voltage from your secondary side of the power transformer, this set has been recaped?First thing you need a new buffer! also there is a condenser block ,replace them all , old Transitones had OSC coil troubles check it , Vibrator can be brough back by buzz it on 110 AC in line with a 40 watt light bulb lets first start by getting your B voltage up
