Morzh: i was thinking the transformer is in good shape as well. Yes, the fuse remains intact with the 84 removed and all other tubes in place and the speaker and field coil not connected. What was risky about power up and measurements without the 84 in place?
How do I test the output of the 84, since the fuse blows with this tube installed? Is this where I use the variac? Do I plug the radio into the variac and slowly increase the voltage to see what readings come from the rectifier before the fuse blows?
