I just lucked into an NOS UX-199 tube today. Actually, just marked as a type 99 on the top. In a bit of irony, it is a Philco tube! Now to get this radio checked out and set up for service. My last question is: what type headphones do I use for this unit and where to get some?
p.s. The guy I bought the tube from had a very early looking Philco console collecting dust in his backroom radio collection. Not sure on exact model, but it was definitely the early console look. Far different from my oldest Philco consoles like my model 87.

No matter where you go, there you are.
