Chances are it is one are several of those old papaer caps.

Just start with that and you will never look back.

One quick check you can do however with the audio section is touch the
wiper terminal on the audio gain pot with
you should hear a hum if the audio section is good.

But just recap the set , it does not cost that much to do. Paper caps were
junk from the day they left the factory.

And I know someone on this list will defend the virtues of the paper cap.
whatever.

Hello all, I've inherited my dads old Hammarlund 129, (actually, This
radio was by my bedside all my growing years), well my father passed
away three weeks ago and I got this beloved radio. It hadn't been fired
up in 20 years and there is simply no audio output.`I fully plan to
recap this rig, but I'm not sure this is the problem. All tubes fire
up, no I have not tested them yet. You fellers have any clues to a
possible problem? T6 audio transformer bad?? How do you test this
transformer...The electrolytic cap measures excellent voltage at all
three terminals, not shorted to case. This will be my first radio
restore, and any help is greatly appreciated...Thank You...Randy
