My wife researched that in the past. The virus is only alive for a few days to a week in urine and droppings. I have had this stored for 2 yrs in a mouse free environment. So it was this condition when I got it.
Although it probably will be scrapped if I can not find coils that will work.
Anyone have miller numbers 43-A, 43-RF, 5261-A, 5261-RF, or merit BC412 and 413? Any of these should work.

Turns out I found a meissner cross on these coils, and playthings of past listing shows he has them. I just shot him a email as to availability. If he has them, the chassis is heading to the cabinet blaster.

Well here it is after a strip down and a trip to the blasting cabinet. All recapped, chewed up wires replaced. Got the coils from playthings of past. Can't fire it up just yet, found a tube was in it that does not belong or subs. It takes a 6F7 and somebody has a 6A7 in it's place. Did not have one on hand, so I had to order one.

Did you try it with the 6A7. Maybe someone rewired the socket to use it.
The 6A7 is a pentagrid converter, where the 6F7 is a triode-penthode type tube. IIRC, the cathode is common to both sections of the 6F7.

Yea can't pick up anything with the 6F7 in it. Currently got the 6A7 in.
