Looking like a B+ problem.
Mark Oppat suggested that I check the voltage on the 42 tubes.
Did that and found around 50 volts on pin 2(plate) instead of the required 245 volts needed. Either have a short somewhere in the B+ circuit, or could this be caused by a shorted paper cap?
E caps are new, but paper caps have not been changed yet.
Pulll that diffuser offf the band selector indicator.
It has turned so dark with age, that the light cannot penetrate it anymore.
Bet you guy's are getting tired of hearing from me.
