41-280, need help with tube ID
#3

Raleigh, thanks for the repy. Not sure if my 41 's are bad because I have not been able to find a place that can test them. So far I've only found 1 shop that has a tube tester and it's pretty small and it doesn't accept the 6 pin socket. They did test the Loctal tubes and they ranged from about 45% - 65% good. The 41's may be fine, just wanted to get some information in case I had to order them. I have looked in a few places and didn't see any 41's listed. I'll do a re-cap job, check the resistors and replace the power cord then install the tubes and power her up. On the good side I don't seem to have the crumbling wire insulation that many have written about. Radio is complete, inside loop antenna and speaker are in decent shape cabinet has some scratches and dings but not too bad. I remember as a kid playing with the push buttons and sticking pointy things in the plastic over the station call letter windows. Later.

With these values I think you are OK; the Cmax for this tube is 40uF. Your Vbb could rise a bit, but probably not too mu...morzh — 04:53 PM
