Hello Peter, check the valve voltages, this will often point to the trouble. If you touch the hot end of the volume control with it right up you should hear a loud "burp" from the speaker if the audio stage is working. That will direct you to which part of the set is working. Have you got a circuit for the 'gram?
Don Black.
