I retested all tubes in the philco 144. Found the 42 is bad and replaced. I powered back up with variac to 110v with a dim bulb tester and amp. meter. The amperage draw is reading right at .5 amps. I can get some low pitched squeel/static when touching the 75 grid cap or the lugs on the volume control. With volume 3/4 to all way up. I have a 12 guage copper wire from ant. to water pipe.
I really will appreciate any advice on how to proceed to trouble shoot from this point. I can post pics of before and after recap if needed. Thanks Mike
