Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: Dad Blame it!

That wasn't it Tom but it is working now. I tested all the tubes except for the 17EW8 which I filament tested manually with an ohm meter as it isn't listed on my tube tester chart. I traced the series filament connections from start to finish at the FM tube. (17EW8) Oddly I found no continuity from pin 4 of the topside of that socket to the wire leading out from pin 4. The underside of that tube had a metal cover I had to take off. I just cleaned the old discoloring glue (quite a bit) and looked over the wiring. Pin four went to a common connection and then to the chassis. The tubes were removed and cleaned and pins straightened just last year. So I don't know what was up but it has been playing for a few hours now. From the beginning the clock worked just no radio. Thanks for chiming in as always.
