I have been playing my 38-2 for a while now and it is doing very well. I did have to replace the 6A8 (osc) as it developed a short that killed off the screen voltage to some tubes. I got a new one of the ST type. Mine was a GT, ugly in a radio full of ST tubes. I'm wondering since this is the oscillator tube in my radio does this need a tube shield? The 6A8 that was in there had a metal base. Now that I noted that I see there probably was a shield raised base on the tube socket. The rivets are loose leading me to believe the raised shield base was there and therefore a tube shield. So I guess I need to find that raised shield or get a metal based 6A8.
I got my new dial, now I can do the magnetic and RF alignment.
