Thanks! It appers this unit has been converted with a standard four pin tube socket. The type 30 tube I got with it is the older globe type and it still tests as good, about 80% life left in it. It also looks good in the radio, but I can't close the top with it in. I might set this radio up in my beddroom when I get it going. It would be fun to have some headphones on and listen to what channels I can get during the winter with this unit. I used to have a cheap Radio Shack crystal radio that I did that with. That crystal radio is what got me back into AM radio and started me on the path to collecting antique radios.

No matter where you go, there you are.
