thanks for your help.
You are correct. I don't hear that "whine" you normally hear. I pulled the horizontal output tube and looked at it. The getter spot seems to be shiny, which fades to clear. No brown, white, or otherwise...
I am currently in the market for a tube tester. I used to have one, when I was in high school, but that's long gone now.....
I think my next course of action is to find a tube tester and give these tubes a test.. Wouldn't it be great if it was just a crappy tube?
I did notice, that simply metering at the fuse, I have 360 volts dc at start up, which fades in about two seconds to 260. The schematic above shows there should be 210. Is this simply because my line voltage is higher than what it was when this set was built? Or is this an indicator of another problem somewhere else?
Sorry I'm kinda dumb at this right now.... To be honest, I musta had lucky picks with the radios I have recapped in the past. I've only had to change out obviously bad grey tubes and swap cap for cap..... I've not really had to do much trouble shooting.
Thanks again for your help,
matt k.
