I've decided to restore the original tubes if possible so I did some searching on eBay and scored 3 today! They're good and I only paid about $5
7 down 4 to go. That's two 42s one 44 and an 80. The 42s and 80 are going to be pricey I think.
And... I scored some speakers with good cones!
Also purchased some speaker cloth from
RadioDaze, but the stripes are running the wrong way
I guess I should have specified that when I placed the order.
Not that most folks would ever notice.
I'm not sure if they are an exact replacement, but supposedly they came out of a 30's Philco and are made by Wheeler. Anyone heard of Wheeler?
