tombo,
good to hear from someone working on their AD radio! Here is a link that will be helpfull to you:
http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/radios/index.htmThe Old Car Manual project is a little hard to find your way around but this is how to do it. Go to the site and click on site index. Then read the note about the the "Old Chevy manual " project and click on it.
As to your problem, you will not see much of a power draw from the radio unless your vibrator is working. If that is all that is wrong, you should at least have the tubes lit up. Anyhow, I will be glad to help you troubleshoot your radio.
Fred
