Well the hot cap was off for two good reasons. First off the original(?) blue label Sylvania 6JS6C HOT tested in the bad range on my tester. And second the top cap don't want to grip the 6JS6A(the big difference I see between A and C is the big heat radiator plates on the anode of the C) I dug out of my tube stash. The 6LU8 vertical output is too weak as well, and short of grunting my '67 Admiral and the Silvertone roundy on top of it away from the wall I don't have a spare(just a few 21 prefix series string types and a 6 that is worse than the original). If a local TV repair shop which actually still has tubes don't have a spare I guess I'll have to keep an eye out at the swap meets.

I may take some time to pick away at this set in the next few weeks, but between college and an experimental tube amp design I'm working on there may not be much time to steal for it.
