Hm, that "Copper Cap" tube replacement is pretty neat. Much pricier than the diodes, of course. I can get those diodes AND a NOS 6X5GT for under $7. I think I'll get some fuses and resistors while I'm at it. I really would like to simply run the set with the 6X5GT, but I know for a fact this transformer has had a few close calls already. It got toasted once before by the first bad rectifier and the bad capacitors, and it started to overheat slightly the first time I tested it right after I recapped it. Then I put in the 6X5GT and it ran well until the other day minus weak reception. The same RCA I borrowed that tube from has a compatible transformer if need be, but I'd hate to have to take that thing out and sort out the wiring on such a vital component.
