Hello Tim,
I really miss the days of running the repair shop full-time—it was open six days a week. Tonight, I was going through my parts to see what I had on hand and what I still needed. One of the coupling capacitor values I needed was 0.015 uF at 600 volts, and, lo and behold, in my cabinet was a Sprague orange drop. I also noticed that all the tubes are RCA, most with orange writing and a date code of 59-48.
So, Tim does this mean I need to restore my late 50s 21inch B/W General Electric console, but it has a oval shaped cabinet so this portable would not fit on it very well .
Mr Fixer cool story
Sincerely Richard
