I'm looking at this Philco 59, and man is everything crammed in there. I have two 6C6 tubes instead of two 77 tubes. They look to pin out the same (or am I wrong?). Was the 6C6 a common substitute for a 77? They seem to be as old and dusty as everything else in this set. The PT ohms out as good, so I guess I will dive in. Cabinet is in great shape, the dials are in great shape, too.

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice about the 6C6 tubes...but any advice about working on this midget set in particular will be welcome.
