Recently a Delco table top was listed about 10 miles from my house. It used 4 of the 48 tubes and had a nice colorful racetrack dial. I liked the looks of the radio and talked to the seller and he indeed tried to plug it into the wall! After looking at the schematic decided if the 3 amp fuse didn't blow immediately all 4 of the 48s would have open filaments and probably 1 of the other tubes which were wired in series. Not to mention transformers and other assorted parts. I opted out. I hope yours was not introduced to the A/C house wiring.
