I just checked all the sockets and the tubes DO go in only 1 way like you said, Mike.. My bad. Is it possible for someone to put a tube in the wrong socket? I’m starting to think that’s what’s going on because the tubes in the pictures I took before taking them out show them in different sockets than what the schematic saids they should be. I checked all the resistors and the 3.3 MEG that Terry and the schematic both said should be in socket 7C6 isn’t a 3.3 MEG and it’s the only one on that socket. I double checked it with a 3.3 MEG I got in the kit I recently bought. That 3.3 MEG on the 35Z3 socket. And according to my pics, the old resistor that I replaced was a
3300K and if that’s true.. There was never a 3.3MEG in the radio and there should’ve been one (that’s not there) on 7C6. The guy I bought it from on eBay did plug it in and showed a pic of the tubes glowing but he said there wasn’t any sound.
