I love all the room there is under the chassis on a DuMont.

Happy to hear it's going well for you. That bolsters my confidence! The replacements for my missing tubes are starting to arrive. Got my capacitor order in today with "Just Radios", including the three 470pf 15kv caps that seem to be only available from him. I kicked around using high voltage ceramics, but figured ordering all my caps at once from Just Radios was a pretty good deal, including getting the HV caps that are guaranteed to work well. Also ordered the micas for the Horizontal output circuit, since it seems they are troublesome.

I was just joking with my wife that even if it turns out my picture tube is toast we should end up with a big ole' decent FM monaural radio!
