Well that wiring check was worth the effort. I plugged in today, and instantly the valves were warm, there was some hiss from the speaker, and a loud buzz report when the #77 valve's top cap was probed.

Twiddling the tuning cap changed the noises.

I turned up the volume

I attached a 2ft clip lead to the antenna terminal

Stations - lots of them Icon_smile

Madam 16X lives again!

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
