Well,
I don't really understand all the babble going on, Icon_angel

but I used 16 mfd Ecaps to replace the 20's after rigging up the new pilot lamp.
I turned it on slowly and got nothing. waited about 2 minutes and the L49B ballast tube got very hot and started lightly smoking. I shut her down and nothing was hurt but where does that leave me.... I have no idea. I am assuming I need a new ballast or something else is wrong that I will have to figure out. I need to start testing the radio but I dont know where to start. I also don't know if I have the right equipment. I have an Ohm meter, A tube tester that I don't know if it is calibrated after 25 years, and the auto transformer. No variac, no signal tester.

What is my first step?

Times I have been electrocuted in 2021
