Hey thanks for the responses!

I dont have the equipment to really test the inner workings beyond that of a basic tube tester. On radios, I would do what I could from clean up and tube testing and then would turn it over to someone far more experienced than me. So the types of testing you are suggesting are probably way out of my experience level, unless it is far less complicated than it sounds.

Jordan, I live in the Temecula area, but work in San Diego so I am not too far away in that respect. I definitely would like to keep the set, but my wife doesnt like the idea of my keeping a hundred pound paperweight and I guess I cant really blame her. To have someone do the type of work you are describing, what would be the cost range?
