All tubes were tested for filament continuity with a multimeter as well as normal tube tests on my Conar. I came up with a bad 24, so the one in there now is a replacement (I tested that too when it arrived, tested good). The tubes I have are 24 rather than the later 24A, but I don't think that would matter as long as they all test ok.
The 27 that came with this radio gave me a "?". I bought a replacement from the same guy as the 24 "just because". It was listed as being 90% and tested on a Hickok, my Conar gave me another "?" on it. I tried swapping the replacement 27 tube in now and volume overall is much quieter, the original one seems better. Maybe they're both no good.
The RF can next to the 27 tube gives me 25 ohms or 4kohms, depending on where I place the leads. The other two cans seem to give me about 6-7kohms no matter where I place the leads.
