I like that pair of hippos. Sneaky move repro'ing the back labels!
What does that big honkin' speaker in the background go to?

I'm not sure. I has "RL-69-4" marked on it. I picked it up to possibly use in my RCA 222 which is missing it's original speaker.

Good luck on the 7C7. I have several Hippos and they use a 7C6 tube that is getting fairly expensive now-$15 or so. A couple of mine were weak, but I found some through a friend that were cheaper.

I couldn't find any spare 7C7s, but I'm going to a radio swapfest on Friday and might get lucky.

I did find a couple 7C7s at the swap fest. That hippo is playing very nicely now. I've been listening to a lot of AM 740 out of Toronto. They actually play music unlike the local stations.

I very carefully used needle nosed pliers to slowly work them off. Luckily, no breakage.

Oh...no!
Whooops!.. one broke..
Maybe I can drill a hole in the Bakelite and put in a small screw to hold things on..

When I've (rats!!) busted off one of those one-time-only-thank you nubs, I've put the object back with just a dab of hot glue. Easy enough to dig out if it ever has to be removed again.

Drilled and screwed...
Hi folks..
The further adventures of Buzz and his buzzy radio.. I grabbed my dremel and a self tapping small screw and drilled a hole.: Screw is abut 1/2" long.. but real small. Should have lots of grip.. Yup.. I though about glue. But hot glue might have heated up from all the tube and dial light heat. IMO Apoxy might have worked good. Well, next time. Won't be a next time.. I'm not NOT going to break any thing any more.. heehee! Ordered some caps today... good deals at the Canadian store. I like the spreadsheet order form. That's using there heads! Any time I need something.. just put it on the list and save.. order time comes around and it's waiting. Cheers folks! and 73
