No, I have not checked the plate voltage of the 42. I will do that tomorrow morning. Yes, I have done a total recap and component check (resistors). A weird thing about this radio was that all but one of the tubes were dead when I got it. The bad ones have been replaced.
Someone did some shoddy repair work a long time ago, as an old paper cap was wired right across one of the cans.. I mean - someone just jumpered one of the 8mf connections by soldering a new cap, while leaving the old one hooked up. That paper cap was totally melted. And the brush hushatone attachment was not even soldered in, they just spliced the wires and taped it up.
I've been working on this radio all day. I need some rest. I'll check in tomorrow. Thank you for your help.
