Dang. That's a first for me. Somebody musta tried to unscrew the tube.

LOL - Maybe

Removing the RF coil assembly is fairly easy and really opens up the chassis.


The 0.5 uF caps in the box are leaky, but all the coils and small (mica?) caps test OK.
Grid leak resistor is a little high at 7M so I replaced it with 4.7M.


The cap box was easy to unmount and unstuff.

You didn't happen to but it from the user TubeTwister did you? LOL.
