Silvertone model 4669 RF issue
#14

I may have grabbed a dud 6C5GT then too, as it wasn't lighting either. But this 6J5G is!

When I bought this radio, the vendor at the meet handed me a box of parts....a spare bandswitch assembly with coils attached, a spare antenna coil, a spare tele-dial mechanism and a few other items. Then seeing that it was totally recapped, yet someone stole the speaker from it, I immediately assumed the worst....that this was a project someone started, found something major wrong, and gave up on it. That and the "unload my headache on to someone else" bargain price of $25, I just KNEW it couldn't be something as simple as a dead tube. Boy was I wrong! The guy even changed out the 1 meg resistor in the tuning eye tube socket so that works properly too.

Lesson learned...never assume the worst!
