Did you say nice or mice??
I had one not too long ago. PT was replaced, nowdays that's a pain cause the set uses 2.5v heaters. I think it has louvers cut into the wooden bottom to help air circulation and makes a lovely entrance for the mice. As for the open output transformer it needs to be about 7K (plate load not dc resistance) on the primary. If you have a junk Philco transformer that was used on a set with a single (not married) 47,42, or 6F6 any of these will work well. All have the same load resistance.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
