right you are- I mis-read the post; that user was also misinformed and asked whether a 12AX7 could be replaced with two 6AU6s. (Later corrected as 6AV6s)
's what I get for not reading the whole thread.
I'm almost certain the tube layout diagram is the same now- I'll get out the tripod and get you guys some less hasty (and well lit) pictures tomorrow, including the record player. I hope to log the restoration and add it to my web site for everyone to view.
I'll be keeping this thread alive as I go through various stages of restoration, asking for advice and posting pics- I'll start by giving the tubes a thorough inspection (and check the filaments with a DMM) before I go any further. They all look to be original Fleetwoods- fingers crossed!
I plan on restuffing all of the caps, just for the hell of it; I love old hardware and authenticity- . One of my Commodore 64 still has the "Warranty sealed" sticker on it and is in near pristine shape.
We have exactly one AM radio station left near enough that I should be able to receive... classic and modern country; at least it's not talk.
What are the chances that the chassis is cadmium coated? It's not oxidized at all (and you can see rust around the power cord)- my bet is steel.
I'll also have to replace the line cord- the prongs on the existing one are more crooked than a 419 scam
Many thanks for all the help so far and in the future - "May your tubes always light!"
