Well after a while I came back around to the Admiral again......I may need to get my Heathkit tube tester checked out as well. With the help of a pal who has a real radio "lab" we figured the following:
12SQ7 was weak......
35Z5GT was weak....
12SJ7 was strong but glass tube where metal is specified....
Also my friend noted it had a #44 pilot bulb where a #47 is required.
So made all the change outs, plays stronger, better sound, and dial lights brighter.
So the Admiral is in much better shape.
