My 11 year old son's Admiral 30A1 restoration project

That thing uses a selenium rectifier ? no hv i'd check like you said the resistors , also beware of the doorknob cap if it uses one , they can knock out hv , and ofcourse tubes even if test goodcould be suspect.

Way to go Nick , my son has the same name but it is Nic since his is spelled Nicolas , he is 14 and never touched electronics but is good at all kinds of other stuff
