Hi Dave

I feel you are right about these sets never having had a detent ball, or whatever. I have never found one with thumbwheel controls that "clicked" when changing bands.

About the tubes - the original tubes shipped with the radio would have been Philco brand. A new Philco at that time would definitely NOT have RCA tubes in it! Philco and RCA developed a very adversarial relationship from 1930 on, culminating in a suit and countersuit or two - see my History section:

I honestly do not remember the voltage of the Dayton motor run cap I bought a long time ago to install in a 39-116 set. If your 22-30 uF cap fits...by all means, go for it! Icon_biggrin
