I may have mentioned this Lil' Nipper. While recapped and has had tubes checked it has a static problem. While tuning between stations there is quite a racket, when you land a station it sounds pretty good. I have seen photos of this chassis with all tubes metal types except rectifier and output. In mine I have 12SA7 only as a metal, could that play a part? Perhaps the small cap on the antenna needs replacing? Something in the IF cans, very scary for me if in the cans, at least for me. Is it too early a set to have a silver mica issue? 

I have had this for years and was poking around downstairs and tried a tube swap, cleaned out tuning condensor, checked solder joints, loked for a frazzled wire......no results. Sometimes these types better left as Shelf Queens. 

It is very cute, has a neat dial glass, and an RCA jack, original finish is OK but getting rough in spots, kinda like me. I would love to have it as a regular player. It is small and fits anywhere, but that darn static............very annoying. It is a seemingly simple set with a maddening problem .

Here she be.......
