I bought a radio 5 tube for my 1940 and it is what you call a basket case , the tubes are laying in the box with radio case opened, I thought the tubes would only go in where they belong.
The radio case doesnt have schematic to tube position and my manual has no radio service info.Is there a book on radios or how do find out tube placement???

Try sending a PM (personal massage) to the AntiqueMechanic he should be able to help you.

Thank-you will send info to him.
