new to me 37-9 console
#7

The good news is that even though someone tossed the tube shields, why I don't know since the set is full of glass tubes, that the square ones should be easy to find. Philco used that style of tube shield for at least five years on millions of sets between 1933 and 1940 so the only issue is finding ones of the proper size. Until you find some you can always use some aluminum foil for testing purposes.While you are at it see if you can find a matched pair of output tubes, one looks like a compactron TV tube mounted to an octal base, the last one of that style that I saw was a 35Z5 in an early 1950s Admiral radio.
Best Regards
Arran
