6J10 / 6Z10 are subs & came double marked.
See tuner type ( 175-###) & compare with with manual to be sure
it has the right mix/osc tube. Do not sub, may work but not right.

Turn channels. You should see & hear loud static crashes. If you
do odds are the tuner is dead. If you dont its the IF's.
While running pull one IF tube at a time. Example:
Pull 1st if no effect
Pull 2nd IF & you see & hear things. This means the 3rd is OK
& probably the 2nd is bad.
This is all crude signal injecting & with practice it can show you a lot
in seconds to narrow things down. You can also do tube tapping.
Lightly tap tubes & see if it pops back in. When the set is all fixed you
can also tap them. This can find int shorting tubes & dirty sockets.
Oh yes the hum may or may not be related. Consider it a second
problem for now & ignore it for now.

Moved all 3 of them one at a time starting from the back and no changes at all. Also turning the channels doesn't do anything either.

If you did that with the set on, then there are a few things I could see it being: an AGC issue, bad video detector diode, loss of B+ to the IF system.

Set was working when tossed. I doubt the 7 or 8 months of sitting i
outside in the junk pile did it any good. I wanted to try and save it but at the same time, space is limited and I really don't want to put much into it. Not sure what to do at this point.

I'm just wondering if the mixer/osc is wrong. It's supposed to have a 6EA8 but the one I have in there has the numbers rubbed off so I can't tell. If I look through my lot and can not find a 6EA8, what is a suitable sub?

6GH8, possibly a 6U8A and 6CQ8 (odd!) as well. Each tube has it's idiosyncrasies, so the sub manuals always have the asterisk or a foot note.

One manufacturer actually made a dual marked 6EA8/6GH8 - but they were short lived, as no other manufacturer jumped on the bandwagon..

A life saver as always. I'll check and see if I have any of those.

The correct tube numbers for the tuner should be stamped on the tuner. Most Zenith tuners have this. scrape all the tubes pins with a small flat head screw driver. And hit the tube sockets with Deoxit or some kind of cleaner. It's a pita to do, But if the chassis was outside, all of the sockets Will need to be cleaned.

Tried two subs and still the same. Maybe capacitor issue now? Component level. Issues mentioned earlier.

Worked on it for the last 3 hours. Caps all check good. Finally did get the static sound along with tuner activity but still hear hum sound and cannot get a pic on screen. Moved if tubes around and changed to different locations. Not sure what else I can do with the resources I have.
