Thats what I thought but wasnt sure if I turned it too far would hurt any of the 6a3 tubes as I see they are going for stupid amounts of money on fleebay.  I do like the looks of the tops of the 6a3 tubes too because they are the spring filament type.  Not sure if these are better than the ones they are calling hanging filament or just a different way to make tubes.  I should spray the rheostat with deoxit g5 like the tube sockets.
I started collecting radios when I was a kid.......never kept any of them.  Always messed them up(didnt know what I was doing)  Sucessfully bought my first radio and got it working in 1995in california, and carried it home on a 3 day train ride.  It was a philco 38 code 123 battery operated farm set.
