Hello,
Bought this at a flea market for 30 bucks. Complete but no dial pointer or string. Will need help with that also.

Just finished recapping it. Plugged it into the Variac and nothing? Nothing lighted up. Nothing smoked though either though.

Question how do I trouble shoot this issue. My skill set is low. I can recap and do real basic issues. 

My equipment is limited to a voltmeter and a tube tester(reliability question)

It has a push button on/off instead of a knob. Bad contact maybe?

Very nice radio and would like to get it working. Have heard the sound is nice on them.

Please help.

Thanks
Chris
