Thanks Sandy, that's not mine but it is in equal shape. I have been reading some of the radio threads here and it looks like I will need to replace the power cord, the wax caps and then bring it back to life with a variac, is that right?

I am pretty good with a soldering iron and reading schematics because my hobby is speaker building, I was a mechanic, and I will be starting mech or electrical engineering next Sept. That being said, I know nothing about tubes. If I bring it back to life, I would like to learn how to do it. I certainly trust the members here but I like to do things myself. I have my hands full with other projects right now anyway. Maybe I'll dive into this hobby in a couple of months when time and money will allow.

I was kind of hoping that it would be as simple as replacing the power cord but that doesn't appear to be the case. It is obvious that I have a lot to learn about tube gear.

Thanks for the help
