Believe it or not the Canadian G.E sets were more then likely made by G.E with imported tooling, Canadian Westinghouse did the same. Canadian Westinghouse had a version of a Columnaire called a model 801, the circuit is very similar to the Victor and C.G.E sets like the S-22, but the chassis layout is different in that it has sockets for the three directly heated tubes on the side apron, the chassis is mounted sideways with the two #45s and the #80 pointing straight up. I believe that the Canadian Westinghouse 801 Columnaire is a 1931-32 model, they had a more conventional version as well, mounted in a tombstone cabinet, I have the service folder for that, I kind of wish that C.G.E and Victor sets were built the same way rather then that deep, layered chassis copied from the U.S sets.

I'd try replacing the bulb first and if that doesn't do it, then change the 35Z5 and see if the problem goes away.NostalgiaRadioTime — 12:28 AM |
