The voltages on det tube will be very different from the existing charts when read with a modern DMM. PLATE voltage will be on the order of 100V or so.

I restored two so far. Truthfully, the second time I did not bother checking voltages to be close to true values, all I bothered to do was (and often is with most radios) is making sure plate voltages look like.... plate voltages. As long as your radio is recapped/recarbed and your coils are OK, and tubes are good, the plate voltages will be good. I only start looking close if I have to troubleshoot.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
