Philco 39-7 issues
#1

Hello everyone, I’ve been working on a philco push button model 39-7. I’ve replaced all caps, checked resistors, and replaced all tubes. This set had been worked on before I got it. I get absolutely no sound. After replacing all parts mentioned above I got a motor boating sound for about 5 minutes, then that quit. All tubes light up except pilot light. I know the right push button controls dial tuning, but a I have no wires going to that button. I can’t figure out the schematic. I’ve seen videos on this radio and have seen two wire going to that push button. And as you can see from pics someone had done some soldering. Any idas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
