Stupid question maybe but I can't find an answer.
I see some that say fully restored but they are missing the shield.
Very curious.

If you mean the triple shield with the label - yes, all of them.
And it might work without it but might become unstable.

Thanks.  Lot of people in here who know their stuff.  Just hope I'm not being a nuisance with these basic questions.  I do search beforehand. Thanks all.

Welcome to the Phorum. Ask as much as you like. The members here enjoy helping out.
What Terry said about the repro tube shield. I bought one last year and it was very original looking.
