Hello. Newbie here, and I'm also restoring a 41-250 that I just bought over the weekend. (first non-car radio I've restored, only the second tube radio I've touched, but I'm fascinated (obsessed?) by these old radios.)
I have an Eico 666 tube tester with various tube charts, none of which list the 7A4 (XXL) and the 41 tubes, so I can't test them. Anyone happen to know the settings to use to test these tubes on the Eico?

Also, what are the value(s) of the 21 and 21A capacitor? I was just getting ready to order all the caps when I found this forum today and didn't realize that capaitor was paper. I've been reading posts here for the past couple of hours. What a great source of info and expertise!

Is there a reference somewhere where you can punch in Philco part numbers and see what models those parts were used in?Jim Dutridge — 10:17 AM

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
