Tim and N21XK,

I thank you and my Colony thanks you!

I'm doing pre-restoration research on this set, as I learned years ago, don't start a restoration and then set it aside while doing the research, or parts will get lost, or one will damage something by not knowing how it operates. In that same vein, I'm still trying to buy a lesser set with a Mallory Inductuner, as that tuner is the only part in this set that looks like it ever was pulled for service, and I don't yet understand how it works.

I do wonder why Du Mont chose not to bend the gun and use an ion trap on so late a tube, since that technology was well understood by 1948 when this tube was made. With that said, I can see no ion burns on this translucent face.

James
