Second. Clean the band switch contacts. These often become dirty and perhaps corroded and if so, will lead to poor or no performance. This radio has lots of contacts and cleaning them is not easy. Be careful so as not to damage the contacts or the switch mechanism. A good cleaner and then work the switches a lot.

Third. Ensure you have good, known working valves.

Fourth. Check the voltages shown on the schematic. It is normal to have +/- 10% variation from the voltages shown on the schematic. You are looking for big differences from what is expected.
Hi Jim, I just realized that the attachments you sent me have voltage values on it. In my schematic they are not present... Is it possible that you share your schematic with me?
Thanks in advance!
