I have found at least one problem that I sort of suspected, but failed to mention. The 6GJ7 tube in the tuner has a dead short. I remember when I first applied power to the set, now a long time ago, this tube lit up blue like a Christmas tree light for a few minutes, not seconds, minutes; then it went to a normal operating appearance. I figured that it was just really gassy. I hoped that no permanent damage was done, but such is not the case.
I also figured that I would have another tube since I am up to my butt in vacuum tubes, but nooooooooo. Anyway, if anyone here has one or two of these (6GJ7) to spare I would gladly pay them the value of a good tube and of course shipping OR if anyone has any tube needs I would gladly give them back more than they would be giving. Especially if you need Compactron types. If you need those I will give you two (maybe more) to one for any tube needed for a 1964 Zenith model 5111 with a 25LC30 chassis. I know that there are a few in my set. The only one that I don't want more of is a 6BA11. They seem to be everywhere; in my hoard at least. Other than this set I have NO use for the later style tubes or "Compactron" types as I refer to them.
