Regarding the tubes lighting up, get back to the test I described earlier:
you should have continuity with all the tubes in, and an open circuit when
you pull any tube. You can do this test even if the electrolytic capacitor
is not connected. Good luck!

Will do, I have a few instock.
Thanks for the info and great learning tips, I would not have know to replace the electrolic cap again. This radio is sure a good learning tool, almost pricless.
I remember my Heathkit days back in 1966, I best really check this radio out to the schematic, bit by bit before I power up again. I got another radio that works and I plan on checking all the tubes. I also want to check all the coils just to make sure that is good.
