which tubes are correct for my model 52B?
#2

Hi Dave and welcome,
>The set  came with 24 / 39(44) / 24 / 47 / 80

There's one tube in this group that doesn't belong. The 39/44 has a 6.3v heater where all of the other are 2.5v tubes. I'd go w/the chassis sticker as the tube shield may have been changed somewhere along the line. Methinks you'll be needing a 35 tube it's also goes by 35/51. In a pinch a 24A would probably work.

< It lists 36 / 44 / 36 / 42 / 80

These are similar to the above tubes BUT have 6.3v heater (barring the 80 it's 5v).
Oh come to think of it if it has a 47 tube in it it has to have a 2.5v set of tube as the 42 uses a different socket.

Hope this answer your question.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
