I recently acquired a mostly unmessed-with and completely unrestored 37-116. It's in pretty nice shape, not missing too much, and I want to do a correct restoration. I have tried to read as many posts as I could before posting this. I am going to probably have a million question but I will start with just a few:
There is a tube in my chassis labeled 6H6 (Sylvania). Obviously a replacement as the tube layout calls a 6H6G. The original 6H6G is an octal double diode. The 6H6 is a squatty little black tube with no glass envelope, no shield (although the socket has provisions for one) and it does NOT want to come out. I am a little afraid to reef on it. Soooo, is this an acceptable tube for this socket (I would assume it would work with that number), does it need a shield and am I missing something trying to get this thing outta there? I've attached a picture.
Thanks in advance for your help
