Well this unfortunately didn't fix the issue either. I tested both sides of the switch when I took it out and continuity seemed to be good on both sides. I actually linked both switches together when I ran new wire to make sure I got one that works. I bypassed the wires that were in there and ran new wire for the line cord. The 117Z3 tube continues to just light up and that's about it. Could this tube be bad? Any other ideas? Feel free to stop the advice any time. I realize I've been bothering you a lot for help but I really do thank you and I've learned a lot about this radio because of you guys.
