did a few prelim checks, primary 1.8 ohms, B+ load about 6k (ground to cathode of the 5U4). did not get a chance to check secondary winding (forgot). The PT looks/smells ok. Will start by replacing the dozen or so paper caps and tube electros. its had some work, new vert block xformer, newish cans caps, some orange drops. Still a bunch of black beauties, bumble bees and the wax caps. After the caps a check of the tubes (main worry will be shorts). its a 8t-241 I have the Sams. Will pull the HOT and the VOT and do a slow power up on the variac while checking the B+ volt and current. check the cans for heat, if that goes well then all tubes will be replaced and will do a fast variac startup.
