I was making big progress on this set - replaced all caps and resistors - what a difference in Rated vs Actual for the resistors. Difference shown below
Resistor 12 - 50kohm - tested 66k actual
Resistor 15 - 250k - tested 423k actual
Resistor 17 - 500k - tested 993k actual
Resistor 18 - 100k - tested 210k actual
resistor 20 - 500k - tested 1.3M actual
Now I powered up and no audio - replaced all tubes from another working set and same results.I then started to use a screwdriver and touch the 1st RF tube - nothing, 2nd RF - Nothing, finally when I touched the third which is the Detector tube - full audio and I can select stations!
Seeking the advice of the experts for assistance. Where should I look next? I am hoping I am one step or component from a success story - but it is finding that one defective part.
