Help with Airline 14WG-806

[Tubejunke]

I didn't know that Wells-Gardner built the thing for Wards, but it's plain to see that the thing was built with the utmost of quality. I really hope I can get this thing going. Thanks to all for the comments. Btw, I did pull the rectifier and threw about 70 volts to it and after a few minutes the pilot lamps start flickering and the tranny heats fairly quickly to eventually smoke. It's toast! I hope I can find one reasonable.

Now in the future you'll know that the "WG" in any Airline radio model number means Wells-Gardner built it. If it had "BR" in the model, it would have been built by Belmont Radio. Also, the "14" in the model number identifies it as a 1941 model.
