I am pretty sure the 6A5 tubes are original. Also they are Philcos, as are most of the tubes in the set.
I think they will be enough to produce some sound, and then we'll see.
TA,
Yes, I adjusted the Line. It draws pretty hefty, once the tube is inserted, the line drops significantly and the fuse lamp starts to glow. And as I adjust it it glows even more which made me kinda nervous although I realized it was probably normal.
For rectifiers the bias is brought to zero, and the English adjusted to the value of, I think, 35 and 30 for this tube. But....no arrow movement when pressing P3. None whatsoever, and this is what makes me wonder. I even suspected the socket but then other tubes test OK in it - all the tubes I have are octals.
