Ironically, that's my trade. I'm a fully qualified, state certified,
tube radio repairman an extra qualification for tube TV's! Mind you,
I don't often see one of those.

> I have one of the old chest-high wooden radio consoles that
belonged to my grandparents.  This beast had multiple radio bands
(short wave and aviation to name two) in addition to the normal band,
plus rows of unique styled buttons that I forget now what they were
supposed to do - maybe tone type controls.  I remember about 30 years
ago it used to turn on and we could get static, maybe even a station.
I'd love to try to get this working again.

replacements from you if you have them in stock?  Since I'm not an
electronics wizard, all I could really do is just swap out the old
tubes for the new tubes and see if it works, unless someone could
guide me through some diagnostic checking with a volt/ohm meter.  Are
there still tube checking machines in existance?
