I have a correction to make, the tube was a 14B6 not a 14C6. I am still working on the set, found out that the previous owner removed and replaced a few condensers with ones of completely the wrong values. He substituted a .0001mf in place of a 47 mmf (pf), and a 150 mmf in place of a .02 mf. As I said before the P.O mounted one of the filter condensers to the back of the speaker, to hook it up he ran two wires up through a hole in the chassis and left the leads of the condenser exposed in mid air. A wonderful way to make an AC/DC set even less safe, how do some people live so long?
Happy Christmas
Happy New Year.
