Perhaps the plug in the real panel is missing.
Or the heater switch is bad.

Somebody actually bought it when it was new and never opened it, and then traded it into Henry Amps in California and I bought it from one of the workers there.

I then turned on the Heater switch and the tubes did not light up nor did I get any signs of life from them.On IC the meter shows no sign of life.  Obviously, without the tubes lighting up, I was not surprised.    Thinking that I had fried the tubes in the past, although I could not remember doing that, I ordered new tubes and put them in.  I flipped the switch and still no life.
