I have heard that running without the pilot bulb can kill your rectifier tube. All the current that normally goes through the bulb has to go through part of the rectifier filament instead.

I've "resurrected" blown 35z5's by shorting out across the blown pilot lamp section of the heater. Not the best thing in the world to do, but it works until you can get a new tube. You probably wouldn't have blown the tube if you'd first formed the capacitor using a dim bulb or a variac.

Hi my name is Cynthia. I've been watching your youtube channel and it's helped me attempt to fix a 1965 Magnavox Magna-Sonic Console Stereo. Model # 4RP614. Everything looked great and played great for about 6 months, and then it didn't. Volume comes out of all 4 speakers but not at an appropriate loudness. At maximum it can still be heard, but it is the equivalent of a 2/3 or so. The quality is a little fuzzy. This happens for Record player and radio. I don't have a lot of static when changing channels. I have taken out the chassis and looked it over and everything looks really great. I can't find anything on line with my same problem. Or at least from anyone I can understand. I would either love to pay you for for some advice, or send you the chassis for repair. I'm pretty handy, but limited on testing tools - although I do have a soldering iron and solder and am pretty good at it. Thank you in advance for your thoughts. I can send you pics if you'd like.

Knobs. Do I see the knobs sitting on the healing bench? If so, good job retrieving them. How much would a 3d printer be worth in the case of knobs. Potentially a worthy investment, set it running and wake up to half a dozen new knobs. Like a chicken, Fresh -eggs- knobs laid for breakfast. I am sure you have access to hard to find knobs that people need and you could measure them up and print them out for potential profit. Is a 3d scanner worthy? Not sure, It seems like too much investment for a few knobs. But a 3d printer? Maybe.
