no reception 57C
#1

Hello,

Yesterday picked up a 1933 57C at a local auction..$15 Bucks .It had a new, but period ac cord, when I got home sure enough it had already been recapped ( Need to check for correctness ), tubes are correct. Turns on , but gets virtually no reception, very faint hum and occasional static chirp when volume control is turned back and forth.

Where should I start and what should be my first checks ? I have the schematics and parts layout, are there any points where I can check for correct voltages, etc, there are none shown on the schematic.

Kurt/ Newbie now hooked.
