[Boatanchors] DRAKE 2B Tube substitutions

[Steve Ellington]

V6 is the AM detector. I bet you are hearing SSB and CW via the product 
detector just fine. , V7 but not AM when in AM (DIODE) mode. So put a 6BF6 
in V6's socket. Perhaps the former owner just wanted to populate the sockets 
with one of those glass things that light up? I'm refering to the red switch 
on front, PROD/DIODE. Put it in DIODE. Bet it's dead.

Guys:

There seems to be a misunderstanding.

According to the manual and the stamp on the chassis, V-6 is supposed to be 
a 6BF6. There is currently a 6BE6 in the V-6 socket. I do not have a spare 
6BF6 but have ordered one.

Thus, I am not suggesting that I subtitute a 6BF6 for a 6BE6. Rather, I am 
only noting that there is currently a 6BE6 in the 6BF6 socket. I checked 
with a magnifying glass and I am not misreading the number of the tube 
currently in the V-6 socket.

Weird, huh?
