RCA 35 X
#2

Anyway to tell if this set uses metal tubes for the SK SA SQ tubes? Have seen a photo where they are metal, my set has glass and I am having lot of static when tuning. Icon_confused

We are all recapped and such. 

Thanks.

 Since it is an RCA model I would bet that they were probably all metal, I'm not sure if the GT style versions require shields or not, though it probably won't help with the static much even if you added some. Does the static only come through whilst you are tuning the set? If so there may be a mechanical cause like a bad solder joint or a grounding braid that's rubbing the rotor.
