Happy new year to all .i just aquired a near mint SX25 100%untouched and
very clean. my 1st plan is to recap it .so i did the overall visual check and
saw nothing wrong so i hooked it up to a variac. and slowly brought it back up .
brought voltage up to 115 after a few hours and evrthing was fine . but when
i tried to get any stations radio sounded very weak and distorted so i
decided to shut it down after i checked some voltages to get an idea of what was
going on . nothing is hot and no odor from radio . i cheked voltages at the tube
sockets and i have no plate voltage and B+ is reading 377 at rectifier tube
but only on 1 pin.[ it is supposed to 280,300 and 280] voltage is only 5.5
volts at other 2 pins . is my transformer toast or could something else be the
culprit . thanks for any info
steve
