Hello every one.I am new to the sight. I am starting a restoration of a Philco 610.I am a retired electrician and I have a little experience restoring an old Philco 38-7 that was my grand parents. I found this radio for sale down the street and I couldn't resist it. While going though it getting a list of capacitors I would need to start I noticed the type 80 full wave rectifier tube had been replace by a RCA V5E tube. I cant find any info on the tube on the net. It obviously fit the 4 pin socket but I'm hoping that someone hasn't messed this thing up good. Anyone heard of this tube? Any help would be appreciated.
