Welcome to the Phorum, Dale! Has this chassis ever been restored in it's recent past? If not, I would strongly recommend replacing all paper caps and any out-of-tolerance resistors. Do not power it up until this is done. These components are inexpensive in comparison to the parts they can take out if they are left in, powered up, and then fail. Lots of help is here for the asking. Don't worry that your questions may sound ignorant ... we were all beginners at one time or another! Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
