Do you mean in the SP-600? Oh yeah I got those. I had two that were pretty much dead shorts that brought the B+ down and took a couple of resistors with them. Those were a piece of cake to replace. Now the RF deck was another story. This one had mice in it at one time. The RF deck was so corroded I had to replace 3 of the 4 tube sockets and the antenna connector. I had to take a butane torch to a few of the screws to get them loose. Also had to repair the hexagonal shaft in the turret assembly because it broke. This was an early SP-600 JX model. The other one is a JX21 in much nicer condition.
My HRO-M also has the shouldered tubes (although 6V versions) but it has the square IF cans. I would have preferred the table top amateur version but this one was local.
