you pull any tube. You can do this test even if the electrolytic capacitor
is not connected. Good luck!
Will do, I have a few instock.
Thanks for the info and great learning tips, I would not have know to replace the electrolic cap again. This radio is sure a good learning tool, almost pricless.
I remember my Heathkit days back in 1966, I best really check this radio out to the schematic, bit by bit before I power up again. I got another radio that works and I plan on checking all the tubes. I also want to check all the coils just to make sure that is good.
