Those Crosley schematics are often poor quality and hard to read, I was surprised you got it playing the first installment. Looking forward to your cabinet restoration. Always enjoy your videos and usually learn a thing or two also, thanks!!! Icon_thumbup

Get a tester, Buzz!

I saw some good one in Kutztow for a very reasonable price.
Shaking a tube and listening to the sound, of course, works, but only to some extent Icon_lol

Good video!
