Hey guys 
Bought this radio in 2018 and put away bought it off eBay but I don’t recall seller saying it was restored  I pulled chassis out and caps have been changed and looks to be correct  problem is no Sound at all   Not even static  even when I touch 6j5 I pulled out 5y4 tube and  transformer didn’t even get warm  all tubes light and good dial light works and cone lock disconnected
What else could I check

Thanks sam
Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift
