Yes it does. I just pulled the chassis today to check tubes and components. The brite and contrast controls are rusted shut so i got alot to do. Oh yeah, this set is completely dead.

Try some penetrating oil (like PB baster) on the shafts.

Do you think WD-40 will work?

You could try WD-40 first, but PB Blaster will be more effective. I personally like Kroil from Kano Laboratories out of TN. It's a very effective penetrant. Kroil doesn't smell as strongly as PB Blaster.

Ive spray the two controls with WD-40 and it worked perfectly, but this set still has no signs of life. On the tube chart it says there is a thin copper wire for the tube filaments and i tried looking for it and i cant find the wire, so im having a hard time finding were this wire connects.

If it has fusible link (thin wire used as a fuse) it should be at the point where the fil windings of the power trans connects to a terminal strip. Usually fusible link is covered by heat shrink tubing to prevent shorts. Make sure your power transformer is supplying heater voltage and that it is getting line voltage.
