Under strong pressure to complete a Philco 19, I easily swapped a dud 36 tetrode in a charred tube socket to a 6SJ7 and a new porcelain socket. The only wiring change was the grounding of the suppressor grid. I didn't have any spare 36's or 77's at the moment. At some time in the future the owner may want it converted back to a 36 tube but until then the radio works fine on both bands.

You may have to start further back with your signal injection at the IF signal grid, then tune the second IF transformer...RodB — 10:28 AM
