When I replaced the electrolytics I just cut the leads off the old cans noting the polarity and soldered in the new caps observing the correct polarity. Then I replaced all the paper caps with orange drops. Then I replaced the missing tubes. I powered it up with a dim blub tester I made with 25, 40, 60, and 100 watt bulbs and it worked well. After that I found the voltage on the chassis and we started this saga. I've checket all my capacitor work and it agrees with the schematic.
This morning I checked the volume control switch and didn't find any shorts. The tone control has never worked because the lead at the low resistance end to the plate of the power tube had been removed sometime before I bought the set. I policed up the guts of the tone pot and replaced the lead and it works very well. On the tube section of this site I checked up on the rectifier tube. Zenith marked the socket 5Y3 and 5Z4 and the schematic calls out both types. The rectifier tube was one of the missing tubes that I replaced. I installed a 5Z4. The tube section of this site doesn't list them as interchangeable. Does this indicate something that Zenith didn't know. The schematic tube picture is a 5Y3. I really appreciate all the help I have received from you all.
Later, Will
