I am looking for a schematic for this radio.
My wife picked it up sans tubes, I ordered a set and plugged in.
Nada. No glo.
No juice at main electrolytic cap. On off switch ok.
Cord ok. Suspect open heater circuit.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated

if it's just a five tube series heater setup, you might try the checking the pilot lamp. Some use it in the string..if you didnt actually put a multimeter on the switch posts check that. I've had some that clicked, but the contacts must have been damaged of stuck open.. sometimes there is a large dropping resistor ( a big strip)..not very often but sometimes you might find that open..

Pete, hello again..
on second thought norm has mentioned this is a newer radio with miniature tubes. you might try checking the tube fills with an ohm meter. you said they were new, but it's possible one has a bad fill.
The tube search and database at this site will indicate the correct pins..
