Hey everyone,
How many tube shields do I need for a 38-116 chassis ?
Just bought one(haven't plugged it in yet) & it has accommodations for *9 shields* NO SIGNS OF SHIELD MOUNTS BEING REMOVED
& it has the '38 tube compliment in it. Code 125.
The 6R7 tube has no shield or mount but is a Grid Cap tube. The other tube shield that seems to be "missing"? is a 6J5 in the middle of the left side when viewing the rear of the set.
I have a 37-116, which I thought had a 38 chassis stuck in it because it has a '38 tube set compliment in it, but it requires & has 11 shields. This chassis plays well. The 6R7 tube IS shielded.
Neither chassis has a 6L7, 6F6 or 6H6 in them. Codes 121 &122. AND Both chassises appear to have ALL Factory rivets holding the tube sockets in them still.
I'm starting to think I have a '37 chassis IN THE '37 cabinet(code 121 or 122) with a "38 tube compliment in it. If so it certainly plays ok.
Noob still learnin'
