Your grid bias is low @6v. With 250v on the plate (pin 2) the - dc voltage needs to be -17 to -21vdc on pin 4 (grid 1). With that low of a bias voltage 2 things are going to occur. Distorted audio and excessive plate current flow on the two 42 tubes. Not good for the 42 tubes.

Wouldn't worry too much about the vc yet I'd get the set to pass a RF or IF signal. Do you have a signal generator?

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
