Hello, 
I have recapped the radio. 
1st time powering it up the speaker does thump-thump-thump when I place my finger on the grid cap of 6K7G the thump goes away and the radio is silent.

The other problem is there is no power going to the pilot lamp which is connected to the 6A8G. I have checked all the resistances for the transformer and they are all within spec. 

Not sure what to look for on these 2 problems.
