Hi All;
I will replace the four PF Caps and then do as You all have said and take some Voltage readings and look for foreign matter in and arround the sockets..
I will also do the Grid cap tests and see what shows up..
I will try to take some voltage readings before it goes "pop" as a comparison..
I like that "pop goes the Philco"..
The last time I tried some of my old tubes in my Tube tester, they would not test well in one of the sockets, that particular socket does multiple tube types in one socket, and I suspect it may have gone bad.. But, I can drag it out and see what it shows..
What I have been doing is buying the tubes I need that come pre-tested and use those.. And hope that they are good.. As near as I can tell from the past tubes I have bought, they all seem to be good so far..
THANK YOU Marty
