Did the usual recap / checked & replaced resistors / using known good tubes. Was pretty straightforward, or so I thought. Just gave it a first try this evening, bringing it up on the variac. There's no excessive current draw, so all seems good there. I have not yet checked voltages, but the initial problem is lack of reception. There is no response from touching or clipping my long wire on the "RED" antenna terminal and the only way I can get the strong local station to come in...and play fairly strong...is to touch the gator clip of my antenna wire on the grid cap of the 6k7 tube. ON the tube itself. If I clip it to the grid cap wire attached to that tube, there's no reception.

The #66 electrolytic can was blown when I got the set....it was a replacement and the top was blown off of the can with a large puddle of dried molten wax all around the base of it.

I will dig into it deeper tomorrow evening but am wondering if, based on the symptoms I'm finding, if anyone has any thoughts on what to zero in on? Terry??
