Working on 41-290-121
Plainly stamped on chassis

Question

The 2nd Det and AVC tube is shown as 7A6 for this chassis

I received the radio with a 7C6 in place of it and it plays well (before alignment)

I inserted a NOS 7A6 and hear NO difference.

What is up with this chassis.

Tubes are not the same , so what is the purpose for Philco to stick a 7A6 in a 41-290-121 chassis
Other versions use a 7C6.

Puzzled

Just to make sure, you chose either 4 ohm into 5K or into 10K? (blk-org or blk-grn)morzh — 06:23 PM
