Philco 41-285 wiring issue

[Mick AV-8]

Okay..I probably did ground pin 1 for a test and the tube lit up..but it made no difference.

If I have checked the diodes and resistors and the numbers looked okay to Jr.
I would like to just leave that socket alone...and move on.

But I did put in the other tube that did not have one of the pins cut off...that pin went to the #2 pin with a diode..now that the other tube is in that has all 5 pins..it seems to work better.
I can change the stations and only two come in weak and crackly.
The volume works..but not with any great volume.
The trebble/bass also works.
The selector switch that rocks the light selector to different bands seems to have shitty contact..need to get it just right to get a good spot.

Lets please proceed the patient is starting to wake up..we need more anesteshia (wrong spelling)
