[OldRestorer]

I got this radio on ebay fully working and picking up stations so he stated, but it was for restoration or parts. I got it, hooked it up and when I raised the voltage I got nothing. I contacted the seller and he said:

"jumper-out" a power cord. Without restoring or adding any parts I was able to power up and receive many stations all across the AM Broadcast Band. I do know some components, wiring, etc. need replacement. However, with power carefully applied, check the AC voltage across the Off/On switch and then check the DC voltage on the electrolytic capacitors and plate/screen (pins 2 & 3) of the type 42 output tube

Can someone put this in laymans terms? He bypassed something to get it to work so The problem has to be between the power line and where he jumped.

Any help is appreciated
