Philco 80 has me stumped
#6

Gentlemen, thanks for the advice. Between working and the cold weather here in Florida, I have not been able to follow up. My work bench is in the corner of the garage. Normally this is OK but 35 degrees is too cold even for a displaced northerner.
I did try replacement type 36 tubes. The first set I got from the tube warehouse in Orlando were New old stock Tung Sol brand. The second batch was New old stock Phil co brand. The Phil co ones made it better than either the original tubes or the Tung Sol tubes.
I like Philco radios because like me they came from Philadelphia. And the tubes were made in Lansdale where I grew up.
I will respond when I get the chance to try out the tips you all send me.
