The 87 is back together and working again. It was a bit weak in my home until I did some swapping of the 26 tubes between it and a couple other radios I don't use often, but it might still need a tweak or two. Biggest issue is I still lack a working tube tester and will be putting the possible repair of mine front and center soon. Sadly, it never did seem to like type 26 tubes. A big thanks to Chuck as the packet I received came in time to help out with both the lowboy and my highboy. Icon_smile

Now, to find a proper grill insert for it.

No matter where you go, there you are.
