Philco model 42-350t
#11

Here's the trick:

Rub the area of the tube where the numbers should be (in the case of loctals, the very top of the tube) on top of your head. Now if you're bald, forget about it. Rubbing the tube on the hair of your head releases oils from your hair onto the tube, which then *might* allow you to see the numbers under a bright light.

Don't laugh - it works 50 to 75% of the time.
