Just picked up a 1936 Philco 116B Tombstone Radio Today and need some info on it
#37

I did get the power switch issue fixed, I ended up having to use Liquid Wrench on the power switch to get it freed up, followed up with a good cleaning with contact cleaner and now the switch works as it should.

I think I figured out my low volume issue, someone at some point time, replaced the 37 tube in this radio with a 84/6Z4 Rectifier tube... Icon_eek  Icon_crazy Icon_rolleyes

So now i need to source another 37 Tube for my radio.

So what would of made someone think that a rectifier tube would of worked in place of a triode tube in a detector circuit?!
