Well here's what I know so far, both 42 tubes are weak on my heathkit tc-2 tester. One of my 78 tubes is bad with a replacement on the way. Got started on the Bakelite caps, slow but coming along. The 6a7 and the 80 tube I cannot test because my tc-2 doesn't cover them. The set still works great and after repairs are complete will work even better. As you can see in my pictures the grill cloth has a two inch rip in it, I will try to find something that will look presentable. Thanks everyone for your input and suggestions. Philco to the end.
