1955 Motorola 17T20

I got this set for free, just had to drive 75 miles both ways to get it but for free why not. I got this set home and powered it up, the tubes light up but no HV or sound, i knew then this set had no B+ so i pulled the chassis and found many a problem like falling apart sand resistors, fried and cracked resistors, split bumblebees and i think the selenium is bad but not sure at this moment. All the caps and some resistors will need to be replaced obviously. I haven’t checked the tubes yet because my tester went out and I don’t have a spare, but luckily a stereo store near me lets you test tubes for free and there is an upcoming hamfest i’m going so i can hopefully get a new tester.
