Good day all:

I have the little Zenith, a nice player, sensitive too. while playing I noticed a fade out on FM, came back to play a bit, then faded to nothing. no AM or FM.
I opened it up and noticed when power applied, the 12 DT8 would get very bright and then fade to darkness, and would repeat. So I replaced it and got great AM no FM.

Could be bad tube? It checks out good on tester. Any suggestions on what other tube based on function could yield this result? Probably one I do not have 14GT8 FM detector? Icon_smile

Appreciate suggestions.

Chassis is 7M05. Could not find in Nostalgia Air.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
