After a long hiatus, I'm finally back to working on this set 
I carefully traced out the wiring for the replacement Wheeler speakers and hooked them up.

Then, I populated all the tube sockets and flicked the switch.
It's alive  Plenty of volume, but it's not as sensitive as I expected. Also, the shadow meter isn't working very well. I'm not sure about the condition of all the tubes so I'll test them before moving on the checking voltages.
