All,I thought you might enjoy seeing this.  I drove 970 miles each way to get this, down in Lake Charles, Louisiana.  It is 100% complete, down to the "missing" piece of veneer on the front, and the…Continue

"I also remember reading that.  It was probably made so that a metal tube could be used as a replacement.  But, I'd bet $20 that it came with 6J5 G tubes. "

"Pins 4 and 5 of the 6B8 3rd IF/2nd detector/IF AVC comes off of the diode plates.  I would imagine that to be the IF diode output point.   The IF AVC line runs to the grid of the 6G5 eye tube, and also to the secondaries of each IF…"

Alex R. Whitaker replied to Kent King's discussion AW23 tuner hum
"Could be a broken shield wire, or some wire that is a ground return.  Make sure your filament wiring hasn't been scooted over by a plate or grid lead.  If you can't find something like that, then you'll probably have to…"

Alex R. Whitaker commented on Robert Sands's blog post Just acquired Scott 1936 All Wave 23 P649. Lights up but no reception. Tubes? Advise?
"Replacing tubes is the wrong advice.  Get the service information, from this site, for your particular chassis (or something close) and start checking your B+ and cathode voltages on each tube, starting with the power supply.  You probably…"

Alex R. Whitaker replied to Kent King's discussion Scott AW23 extension speakers
"Is that just a regular AW-23 speaker, missing the pedestal base and output transformer?  I've never been into my AW-23, so I may be making an uninformed statement. "

"I'm wondering if you could take tube sockets and coils out of that corner of the chassis, and beat it back out straight.  If you took out the perishable parts, you could probably heat up the chassis with a propane torch and hammer it back…"
