So...?yestersay when I attempted the power up some magic smlme escaped from some place. I suspect it was a coil. I didn't bother to find out what it is, some RF xfmr though not sure which, maybe oscillator.
I checked continuity, still good.

So I replaced more wires, found some errors.
Today checked the tubes again, some croaked but I have 40-125 now that is a donor of...everything.
So I powered up, and it works. There is a motorboating sone place in the middle of the band, I think I will attempt alignment and see if it improves. Tomorrow.

PS.

The speaker is exact replacement. Seems like all of them used the same one. And the chassis' are not that different from each other.

PPS. This radio is the ROYAL PITA. I HATE IT.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
