Um, YUP.
On my CTC-36, replaced 4 5GH8s on the first go round. After testing the rest of the tubes, it needs one more. Along with the 24LQ6 (nearly dead), 5AQ5, 3KT6 (weak and shorted), and 6HL8.
By the time I get done sourcing and buying these tubes (everything I have is too old, I spent an hour rummaging through my loose tube boxes), I will have replaced every tube in the set, aside from the 3A3....including the picture tube.
This is the way these sets were when new? Holy hell, it's a wonder anyone that owned one ever bought another RCA!
