Arran,
You are probably right. I should order the proper tube for the set. That way there will be no guess work. Looks like the last guy that worked on this set was a real bungler, using black tape and such. I am still trying to figure out what he did and why. I doubt seriously that he did any resistor changes ; probably just plugged in what he had handy and hoped for the best. I am waiting for a readable schematic to come in the mail so I can try to figure this out . All I know at this point is that the oscillator is working. I am an amateur at this myself so I will probably be asking more questions . Thanks to all for the tube insight.
