Hi,

Would not suspect the silver mica caps to begin with.

Always good policy to make basic voltage checks on all the tubes. Otherwise you're working blind. If you're getting healthy voltage readings, then start injecting signals into the RF/IF and audio stages. Logical approach will get to the problem sooner and you will feel like a pro!
