Well, my 38-2 is all back together, came back to life. I brought power to the chassis in stages; without tubes, with tube but no rectifier, than all tubes. All I could get out of it was a very low hum. I've rebuilt all the electrolytics. My plan is to disable the audio shorting mechanism in the dial assembly, pretty simple and I did have to work on it for a bit as it was in pretty rough shape, and kept shorting out. I thought I had it working well prior to reassembling it, it is the only thing I can think of as it has a full set of new tubes as well, all tested good. 

Any ideas out there that I'm not thinking of?

Thanks, Link
