Well progress was made tonight. The buzzing I was hearing and feeling was actually coming from the motor that runs the volume/power control. The motor was half engaging and it was buzzing/vibrating and causing the output transformer to vibrate which is just above the motor assembly.
The reed switch that controls the motor was not disengaging all the way and the contacts were slightly touching. Once I fixed the reed switch everything was fine.
I powered the radio up will all the tubes and speaker hooked up and there was no smoke or overheating parts which was a good sign, but there was no sound what so ever not even a hum or a pop from the speaker.
On to checking voltages and tracing things out.
