I just finished re-stuffing the e-caps, and a couple Bakelite blocks that were noticeably shot. After that I powered up the set with all the tubes expect the 5Z3 rectifier. All went well so I powered up again with the rectifier in place and the set came alive -sort of-. I got some buzzing and whistling from the speaker. Made me feel better that the set wasn't deaf. Now to finish recapping the set before the next power up.

During the full power up the Shadow meter even seemed to function. I could see the vane moving with the sound coming from the speaker.
