At the time you're looking at it, just remove the two 5Y3's and plug it in to see if the dial lights and the two output tubes are lighting. For that, you don't need a dimbulb or a variac.
Removing the rectifier tubes minimizes damage to the transformer if a B+ short is present.  |
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind when I go to look at it and try it out.
