Sencore Mighty Mite tc-154 not showing emission reading

on my tc-154 it will show the grid leakage reading and that seems to work fine but when i switch to emission the needle doesn't even move, it just recently did this. any ideas?. it is in rough shape co maybe a connection is loose.

For those symptoms the TC 154 service manual suggests probable causes of S1, T1, and the grid leakage PB switch contacts. It suggests checking the resistances of the B load switch resistors, checking the T1 windings for opens, and checking the grid leakage switch for open contacts.

i have checked everything that it says in the manual, it still is not working

I have a TC-109 on the bench right now.   So far, I have found two connections not soldered from the factory.   Both were partially soldered; that is, one component lead was soldered to the lug but insufficient heat was applied to flow the solder onto the other component which could be moved around in the lug.   Overall, I'm not impressed with Sencore's workmanship.... look for bad solder joints.
