Turned on my Philco 96 and saw a strange light reflecting off the wall.  I think my radio has gas! Curious as to why only one plate is glowing. I think I'll check the HV transformer. Radio works fine with replacement 80.

I heard activated charcoal helps. And no legumes.

Someday you will see an 80/5y3 etc go off with fireworks, with every streamer the transformer throbbing. Had a Globe 280 in a Radiola 60 do that...

Oh, do check the filters, leaky caps and a weak 80 with give a similar effect...

Ugh....
 Yu funny guy Mike...

I had one too long ago. A beautiful 80 globe too...

Thanks for the advice, Chas. The caps are all high voltage film caps so I suspect they are ok. With another 80 in there, I hear/see no detrimental effects. Gonna check the transformer though.


Edit: Transformer is fine!
