I am new to the thread and as it is quite lengthy I thought a summary worthwhile:

1. The set worked for a while then blew the fuse
2. Various capacitors and diodes have been replaced
3. The set now has power again but there is no sound
4. The magic eye moves when the EF89 is in
5. The magic eye does not move with the EF89 out
6. EF89 Pin 7 (anode) = 222V, Pin 8 (screen grid) = 114V

I am not sure there is anything wrong with the radio section. Is the solid-state amplifier working? Have you tried the gram input?
