Well, the speaker works fine, and the final amp works fine. I DID have to reverse the connections to the hum bucker coil, but that was easy enough. I know the speaker works from injecting an audio signal at C44. I don't, however, have anything coming from the 2nd detector / 1st audio, so I am going to have to trace out things there. That will be a bit of a pain since to even get at that tube base I will have to remove a lot of the new condensers I put in. I think I will probably just strip out everything on that side, the IF amp and 2nd detector / 1st audio, and rewire everything, carefully making sure everything goes where it should. I did try injecting the audio at the volume control, but got nothing, so I know something is screwed up there. In good news, all the tubes lit up OK, no explosions, no smoke, no smell of something overheating, so things could be worse. I know that the filament wiring is all OK, and that I have good B+. This radio is definitely the biggest pain in the butt I have had to tackle so far.
