Just acquired a 42-1011 chassis from a friend who asked me to see if I could get it working. After cleaning and testing all tubes, recapping the electrolytics, and a new cord, it powered up fine, but the sound from the speaker is very quiet and I cannot tune in anything. This model has push buttons apparently for the bands, not a regular knob to change them. My extent of "restoration", is limited to what I just performed so I am looking for some guidance on where to go from here. Perhaps the bypass caps are open? Thanks for any help.
