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?
to answer the questions above
1. the set was turned on twice since i got it ( i had it shipped from Norway), the second time for 10 min then flash from the inside of case.
2. only one capacitor C703 has been changed that was recommended by the forum.
3. correct no sound and set is running with power 120v
4. correct magic only moves when the EF89 is in place.
5. correct
6, my EF89 has 9 pins
