Hello! Hope everyone is OK.
So the tubes finally arrived.
The set turns on but hardly produces any sound at all. The tuned station can be heard but it's very, very faint.
Voltages are similar to the ones listed in the schematic except for 50A5's pin 7. It should be negative but I read about 8V DC.
Also, 50A5's pin 6 should be 0V DC but I read 3V DC. Every component had to be changed as the originals crumbled away. I did test every component before installing, but who knows...
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
