New Radio Repair/Electrical Restoration project of mine :) Will be a lot of fun, and lots of little challenges! Apologies for the bad video quality, I am using a much worse camera and my editing software acted up the whole evening while I tried to use it, so I just decided to upload the video anyways! The video is not supposed to be this badly pixelated, some settings are messed up in my editing software. I might re-edit this video and re-upload it later.

During the initial checkout, I make sure the transformers are good, check to make sure there is nothing such as a across-the-line capacitor made from paper and wax that could potentially short, and we gently apply power with a current limiting light bulb in series to make sure we have a working heater and HT supply. We also establish a baseline of what the radio does, if anything. After this we can start the real troubleshooting process.
