Hey everyone,

How many tube shields do I need for a 38-116 chassis ?

Just bought one(haven't plugged it in yet) & it has accommodations for *9 shields* NO SIGNS OF SHIELD MOUNTS BEING REMOVED Icon_eek & it has the '38 tube compliment in it. Code 125.

The 6R7 tube has no shield or mount but is a Grid Cap tube. The other tube shield that seems to be "missing"? is a 6J5 in the middle of the left side when viewing the rear of the set.

I have a 37-116, which I thought had a 38 chassis stuck in it because it has a '38 tube set compliment in it, but it requires & has 11 shields. This chassis plays well. The 6R7 tube IS shielded.

Neither chassis has a 6L7, 6F6 or 6H6 in them. Codes 121 &122. AND Both chassises appear to have ALL Factory rivets holding the tube sockets in them still.

I'm starting to think I have a '37 chassis IN THE '37 cabinet(code 121 or 122) with a "38 tube compliment in it. If so it certainly plays ok.

Noob still learnin'
Lloyd

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM

Maybe this is starting to make some sense in my hard head.  Is this why the wire in question was not in the great Ron Ra...georgetownjohn — 04:34 PM
