Philco 70 Lowboy
#8

Thanks for the offer! Well, tested all the tubes and all but one 24 and the 47 tested good. The 24 had somehow gotten a hairline crack and lost its vacuum, so I replaced that. The 47 was just wore out. Barely any emission left to it. So, I had to borrow a 47 from another project radio for now. Brought it back up slowly again and got more response this time around. It finally took both my indoor and outdoor antennas, but I finally picked up a couple weak stations. The radio is weak and way out of alignment, but someone is home and I was able to tell both the volume and tone controls were working. This is very good news for the future of this little console. Now, if only I could find a tube shield for my 90 Lowboy so I could test it out..

No matter where you go, there you are.
