I finished my Pilot G-674! I dismantled it, cleaned it, did a full re-stuffing recap and resistor redo, and put her back together.. First picture is the before and last is the after. I removed all the caps and labeled every wire since I am not the greatest with schematics. I then baked the caps at 300* until the wax melted out. I took a screwdriver and quickly pushed out all the insides before the wax got hard again. I put all the new caps in each one, stuffed them with hot glue almost to the ends and then crushed up the original wax, put it in the ends and melted it over the glue. They came out just like the originals so that made me happy. I re-stuffed the Ecaps on top and bottom also.

Very nice job so far. I look forward to hearing about the alignment, and how it receives and sounds when completed.

Here she is all finished...
LOL, Mike I cant align radios very well but this one doesn't seem to need it. It plays well all over the dial.

You are welcome to it Sam. The 6G5 is dead. I have a new 6E5 I will put in.
Now I have to repair the extensive termite damage.... Grrrrrr.

Can you use a 6e5 to replace a 6g5? I didn't think they were interchangeable.

Yes you can use the 6E5 for the 6G5

Thanks, Kirk. Good to know. The 6gs and 6us are a bit too pricey. I guess a 6e would work for a 6u as well?

You can use a 6E5 in place of a 6G5 but the 6E5 is a more sensitive tube so the shadow will sometimes overlap. The 6E5 will react to less grid voltage then a 6G5 or a 6U5, so it may require some circuit modification for the 6E5 to perform properly.
