Hello, this is my first radio and what a radio I chose to start with. I recapped the entire thing and put in new resistors where needed. I also replaced the wiring as it was in bad shape. I followed a precise wiring map that I create before starting and know it is wired correctly.
When I turn on the radio, the pilot lamp does not light, the Rectifier tube warms but the other tubes are silent. I checked my transformer 3 times, filament leads go to the right pins on the 42 tube and yet nothing.
I do get a slight hum from the speaker but have not left it on long enough to see if it gets louder. Any rudimentary things I can check to see why the pilot lamp is not lighting ?
