Slip plate is a decent aerosol coating to replace dag...Make sure to mask off places that did not originally have dag.

I don't have the schematic (or time to dig it up). I have a bugeye portable but not sure if same model. Some of these were series string heaters and hot chassis...If you don't see a BIG power transformer don't expect it to work without ALL the tubes installed (and if any tube has an open heater they still won't light).

Once the tubes are all in if they still don't light check the power switch and any fusistors or resistors in series with the heaters...If that fails DMM ohms mode time for the line wiring from the cord thru the entire line string of the set.
