There ought to be a law against being this dumb Icon_redface

Over the last several days, I finished recapping and recarboning this set. Last night I put the rf chassis back in and wired it up. I decided to go over my notes one more time to check that everything had been replaced. It was then that I noticed that I had never checked the tubes. Doh!!!

I did that and found that two tubes were bad. And of course, for one of those, I did not have a spare. I had been hoping to power her up last night, but now I have to order a few tubes and await their arrival.

It's a good thing radio restoration isn't a race, becuase if it was, I'd definitely lose.
