Hi, I have a Philco 53-954 with a 6AQ6 tube. My schematic shows info for the 954 & 950. The 950 shows it using a 6AQ5. What is the correct tube for my 53-954 ??? Also, the radio plays very well for 10 minutes then it goes nuts with noise. The station is still strong, but the crackling noise is not normal. I can't find what is causing this problem. I hope you can help !! THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe
