Radiola Senior
#4

Thanks! It appers this unit has been converted with a standard four pin tube socket. The type 30 tube I got with it is the older globe type and it still tests as good, about 80% life left in it. It also looks good in the radio, but I can't close the top with it in. I might set this radio up in my beddroom when I get it going. It would be fun to have some headphones on and listen to what channels I can get during the winter with this unit. I used to have a cheap Radio Shack crystal radio that I did that with. That crystal radio is what got me back into AM radio and started me on the path to collecting antique radios. Icon_biggrin

No matter where you go, there you are.
