I think I found the problem.  I usually leave mica caps alone but I found one under the preselect assembly that happened to be a Micamold.  It actually measured close to what it was supposed to be. I changed it anyway and the radio came to life.  All I can think is that cap must have opened up as soon as power was sent to it.  The radio ran for an hour with good selectivity and lots of volume.  Amazing that such a small thing can stop a radio in its tracks.  Thanks
