Hi All;
Thank You Brenda Ann for coming into this confusing state of affairs.. No, the Tube has always been a 1C6, and looking at your pin out I do see a mistake I had made i had pins 3 and 4 switched in order, I origionally had pin 3 as the Osc grid and pin 4 as the osc plate.. And that may have been my origional problem all along..
So, Monday I will re-wire the tube and wire it correctly for pins 3 and 4, along with the rest of the pins and take some voltage readings and let everyone know what I find..
Hopefully this solves the origional problem, THANK YOU Brenda Ann..
This might explain why I had the grid, not sure which one glowed RED HOT when I shorted the dropping resistor when this origionally started, and which in turn made me think I had it wired backward, and so when I rewired it the dropping resistor showed nornal readings and the Osc worked, I don't know why.. I thought it was my mis-reading of what everyone was telling me.. And possibly all along I had pins 3 and 4 switched..
And THANK YOU Mondail for trying to set me straight, I appreciate your efforts..
THANK YOU Marty
