No pics (yet). Yes, this is absolutely a T10 with the mustachioed dial. I did a little digging and saw that the 10T-1 has a round dial. As I say, he hit me with this right before I went out the door and caught me off guard. It was weird in that when I first went in, I did say I was looking for tube radios, and he directed me to the Coronado. WAY too much for my blood for a "plain Jane". Then we proceeded to yack. Today was not conducive to going there though, and he did say it was there for a long time, about a year and a half, and told me not to worry, because it's going nowhere fast. HAH! I've heard that twice in the course of this past month alone concerning moving into a bigger place. Ripped it right out from under our noses...When they SAID they wouldn't. At any rate, I will swing by there tomorrow and hopefully he's open. If not, Monday. Oh, and if I do bring the multimeter with me, which pins on the rectifier tube socket should I check? Is checking the leads of the power cord or anything else I can put an ohmmeter on worthy of the effort? Thanks.
Jim

The pinout is the same but the 5U4 has a 3 amp filament, verses 2 amps or less on the 5Z4. I think that the pinout of a ...Arran — 12:04 AM |
