Good to know that a 6SN7 will work ok... I am working on a vertical problem in my Philco 51-T1634, and the 7N7 appeared to be bad, but it was socket corrosion. I ordered some de-ox-it. I hope that I do not have to replace the socket, but if I do, a 6SN7 may appear in that circuit.
Do you have 2 7N7s in your set? ... the Horiz osc in mine is a 6SN7.
PS: I do not HATE loktals, I just don't have very many, and it is sometimes difficult to figure out the type, since most of the lettering has rubbed off.
