Yes sir, AC/DC. I have a lot aof the little guys and find I go through rectifiers and outputs to the point where I do stock them when I get a good price as I did yesterday from a pal at the NEARC meet. From what I have been told some folks moons ago viewed radio as entertainment when the evening slowed and then turned on their set. Then there were people who listened all day long, background to life was radio, news, soap operas, cooking shows, sports, and all the OTR shows we listen to now. So some folks burned through tubes before other problems came up in the set. So maybe retubing was needed sometimes.....I do listen to sets and leave many to play for a while. It seems the 35Z5s and 50L6's go first and when I hear a reception issue, sound issue in a recapped set I look there first. But it seems at times they are good today and fry tomorrow, like a light bulb almost....
