isolated the wires on the primary output transformer. I was able to measure 700 ohms on the primary and without the secondary completely isolated I measured one ohm on the secondary. Shrunk tube the primary white wire that was badly melted and turned on the radio. The speaker works but it has a lot of static. The volume control works I connected up the AM loop antennae. radio doesn't seem too pick up any station I haven't heard any type of music or talking other than like static out of the speaker. I cleaned up the frequency band switch and removed all tubes and cleaned all connections on the tubes.
