Philco 38-7
#7

OK, so I finished re-capping, replaced out of tolerance resistors, and checked most of the crucial transformers and coils, and did a power-up. No sparks or explosions  Icon_thumbup .

BUT, it is completely deaf. No static, no reception.

I flipped the chassis over, and started taking voltage readings. Here is what came up:

6K7G:
H: 6.5v
P: 251v/240v
S: 90v/100v

6J5G:
No voltages indicated other than the heater voltage, which checked out at 6.5v

6K5G:
P: 187v/170v
H:6.7v

Here's where I suspect there's an issue. If anyone can give me a clue of where to start looking, I'd appreciate the help.  Icon_thumbup

6A8G:
H: 6.6v
OscP: 113v/180v
P: 141v/180v
S: 78v/100v

I thought the audio cut-off switch on the dial might be corroded, so it was cleaned, and SEEMS to be working, but this type of dial/switch mechanism is new to me. If there's anything I need to clean or check, again, I'd appreciate any tips.  Icon_thumbup

Note: I am getting audio. There is a very low hum coming from the speaker, and touching the grid cap of the 6K5G (1st audio) tube does produce a loud buzz.

Here's a couple pages of paperwork for easy reference:
