Philco 37-610T Bullet Restoration
#2

While working on the chassis, I came across a mod someone did in the past. The 6A8G tube socket has a 100ohm resister wired between pins 1-2, and a .5ufd cap going from pin 1 to chassis ground. Neither is in the parts list or the schematic, or in the "changes" paperwork documented by Philco. I'm guessing that at one point it was modded to accommodate a 6A8GT tube, am I correct? I plan to put a 6A8 tube back in there. So should I remove the added parts, or will leaving them in affect performance of the tube or circuit? By the way, according to the tube specs, Pin 1 of a 6A8 has no connection.

Blessings,
