Thanks for the recommendations on tube testers. Are there different "time periods" for each of these brands that I should pay attention to for tubes that are common to the 1920's and 1930's?
I was able to borrow a tester from a friend and test the Loctal tubes - all are good. The new rectifier that I purchased is also good. I need to get the rest checked out next. Might some of this trouble come from the variable resistors? I just realized that I never cleaned them while I has the chassis apart...
