This radio worked fine after recapping the electrolytics and replacing the 6X5. Suddenly it got quiet, now no sound other than a very faint speaker hum. The power transformer is cool, so I do not think there is any short. Can someone assist me with how to take voltages on this? I have a multimeter but never measured voltages. Perhaps the transformer is not putting the voltage out?

Thanks for reading.
