Hi Jon

Now I get it..... the big tube was the beer bottle behind the tube set... I mean the valve set.....

Wish we had your expertise closer to us..... do you make house calls.

I recently acquired a military Hickok TV 7 A/U ........ circa late 40s specifically to use on the old army radios. Similar model were used in Canada sold by Starke but made by Hickok.

It has been recently calibrated and tested with special calibration tubes I purchased seperately ... 6L6 and 12XA7.

The only component I cannot, yet, test is the little red can EF50 which I can find in my data sheets.... in fact not sure if it is proper to call it a "valve".

Found some NOS E1148 in TO with the box marked as for WS 19 sets....

Every tube/valve from the WS 19 sets are still available on EBay..... a lot of ot is still made fresh from Serbia, Russia, Lituania..... but I am limiting myself to US/CDN made new old stock.

All and any advice is welcome...... now I wished I had listened more attentively when you gave a presentation on the 19 sets at one of the Convoy gathering.
