I have had an odd experience, I swapped a Glass 12J5 out of this set with a metal tube, set would not play, tubes lit though. Thought I had a bad metal tube so tried another, same result.
I thought swapping a glass/metal as long as the same type was always OK. They could both have been duds, I do not have a tube tester though. I believe both are good as I got from a good source I use a lot.
The tube layout on the bottom of the set indicates a 12J5 GT. Would it be possible that a glass tube is required? It is a six tube RCA
AC/DC, dial glass says Radiola but that was just marketing schmaltz.
She ain't no Radiola. Any thoughts folks?
Thx.
