Yeah! and even then - - - Yesterday I was working on the 29-tube Meissner. The receiver chassis was on it's side and checked out OK. I turned it over and turned it back on only to get sparks and parts flying around inside of the 5Y3G. A big solder  blob relocated its self inside of a 7-pin min tube base. Don't know how I missed that. Now I have one less 5Y3G (G bulb). Icon_thumbdown All is OK now, she is playing on FM. Icon_thumbup
