Working on a Hallicrafters WR-2500 AM/FM/SW receiver. After replacing the electrolytics (everything else is ceramic), a tube check showed that the 6C9 FM RF amp/oscillator and the 6BL8 AM mixer/oscillator tubes were pretty weak. I found a 6BL8 in my stash but not one 6C9s was to be found.
SW is now pretty good but both bands seem pretty light at the low frequency end. Strange, I would have expected perhaps the high end would peter out. BCB is very good so perhaps something else is amiss with the two SW bands. FM is completely deaf with nothing heard. I suspect a dead LO.
Anyone have a 6C9 to spare? Buy or trade, what do you need tube wise?
Jim
