Was there a red velvet cloth in the background of your auction?

I recently bought a tr4cw on ebay that was listed as
ULTRA MINT Drake TR4CW RIT & MS4 PS4
I should have noted that he said that it may need alignment and made no
reference to output power!
When I powered it up it was dead. Looking at the notes section in the
manual it had had a lightning event that blew the light fuse and a mickey
mouse replacement had been installed.
When I powered up after fixing the fuse it had very low receiver volume
and no S-meter movement on receive other than when moving the rf gain knob .
Replaced two tubes that had low emission in the receiver front end which
helped the sensitivity and volume. Still no S-meter indication. Decided
to check output power. I am going through my Collins 312-b4 station
control to a B&W 334A watt meter / Dummy load. They both indicate 125
watts when using the tuning section in the manual to tune the transmitter.
I welcome any suggestions.
So far I love the transceiver but the manual is a little weak compared to
what we had in the NAVY and my Collins 75S-3c manual.
