Ok gents. Here's what I found. Tested the voltages on the tuner osc. tube (6AB4)

Pin 1 (plate) 140 vdc
Should be 190 vdc

Pin 2 (NC) 0 vdc
Should be 0 vdc

Pin 3 (heater) - unable to get good reading
Should be 6.3 vac.

When I went to test pin 3 I moved my multi-meter to VAC. I noticed that with the ground to chassis connected only I was reading around 4 vac. Then touching the lead to pin 3 to try and get a reading I got smoke from under the chassis and the static in the volume faded at same time. So stopped. Something not right.

Pin 4 (heater) 0 vdc
Should be 0 vdc

Pin 5 (NC) 0 vdc
Should be 0 vdc

Pin 6 (grid) -1.5 vdc
Should be 0 vdc

Pin 7 (cathode) 0 vdc
Should be 0 vdc

I am all ears for suggestions. Thanks.
