Far as I could tell, I'm the first to change out any other parts. I did a recap.
The 12BD6 seemed to be a tube used around that time!
IIRC, they used a 150 to 180 resistor in the cathode circuit. Motorola was another one that was fond of that tube. Why???
The Motorola tubes made for replacement use had green printing on them and most were made by GE.
