[ForSale-Swap] FT 901 DM Help

I have resurrected this rig from the what could have been the parts 
pile, and while the rig works very well, I can't seem to get any 
filament voltage at the finals.  I do have voltage to the 12BY7 Driver 
tube (12 vac), but zilch to the finals.  The filament voltage switch 
mounted to the front panel works, and the tap from the power 
transformer reads good as well.  So, something is missing somewhere 
along the way to prevent the voltage from getting the final.

This particular rig has the power cord running into a male connector.  
The connector then attaches to a female connector mounted to the 901's 
chassis.  The current cord is obviously a non-standard cord which is 
why I suspect that the connector may have some internal wiring that 
missing, which effects the filament voltage.  Otherwise the rtig 
receives great.  It's only this minor filament voltage problem that's 
holding me back.

Is there anyone out there who has one of these rigs, or who may have 
experience with one of these rigs who could tell me what connections 
are necessary to the inside of the power cord connector.

If anyone has any other suggestions that might apply, each would be 
appreciated as well.

Thanks es 73's

Dave, W8QW
