>Yes I have had the speaker plugged in Terry, thanks for asking.
Actually that was Mike that asked. If the spkr wasn't plugged in you wouldn't have any hv at the 6V6's. Never try to operate the set w/the spkr unplugged you can easily damage the power supply by doing so.

My you've been a busy little bee!!![Image: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smi...on_lol.gif]

>Thanks for your help and patience with me.
My pleasure. Gotta start somewhere. Although this set is a bit more difficult that the average bear.

>I did notice one of the square cans on top is missing an adjustment screw.
Maybe maybe not. Not sure if all of the cans have two or four adjustments.


>Also I noted that I will need to get a signal generator in order to set Thisbe up?
Yup. It's a good tool for troubleshooting aid too.

>Anything I need to know before I buy?
Of course!!
