"60 Philco Model 10L31
I just brought this set out of storage about 3 weeks ago and since it's complete and in good cosmetic condition, I'm gonna see if I can get it going. This TV is one of the sets I got from a good friend (former landlord and employer whom I still work for part time). This is from the "Mother Lode" of sets I received from him (and am still picking up and bringing home!), some 200 sets, give or take a few. The set had been stored in a barn since 1965. Anyway, the set in question is totally dead when powered up on my variac. Any suggestions?

If none of the tubes are lighting, it likely has a blown thermistor in the series tube filament circuit. Probably has a dead fusistor in the B+ supply as well.

Oops, ignore that earlier comment. The 10L31 has a power transformer
 So make sure you've got AC power making is way to the primary. Philco used some crummy power switches back then and it may be bad.Also, there is a fuse (really just a piece of #26 wire) in the tube filament supply hat may be open.
