I haven't replaced the R6--6K resistor biggybacked with C7---1400PF mica.

Replace it.

Don't have the mica.

Get it. Believe me, your radio will thank you.

If Just Radios doesn't have them, try Vacuum Tubes Inc. in Florida, or Radio Daze.

Now, here's a tip for removing that stubborn tube. Turn the chassis upside down and, using a small hammer and a small Phillips screwdriver, lightly tap each pin of the tube, alternating between left and right, until it comes out. Remember, tap lightly. Don't force it, don't use a sledgehammer, and don't act like you're the Incredible Hulk. You don't want to damage the socket.
