I have a Philco 42-1009 that needs a 5Y4. No way do I have one! A quick check of my 1953 GE tube book reveals that the filament current and forward current is same as a 5Y3, so I will move two wires on the socket, because that's the ONLY difference.

Please post your appliance pics in the expeditions and passions. I will follow up with my two refrigerators 1953 Kelvinator (division of Nash Motors) and 1947 Westinghouse. Those old refrigerators use HALF the power than the 1996 and 1986 refrigerators we have. I proved it with a kWH meter.
