![Tubes in a barn find radio [4032x3024 - 641KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/5EBTDB.jpg){kind=link}
lol, no. With an AA5 I just plug the damn thing in straight. I'm not digging the iso trans and variac out for this thing.
There's no transformer or anything, if the filter is shorted (and it is) it just goes "BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR." It did exactly what I expected. Need to clean it out and check the grid caps and get a filter in there, I suspect it will work fine. The tubes in this thing are so baked I think I'll have to sell the guy a set out of my stock, I've literally never seen the getter on a 50C5 that black.

You've definitely got a handle on the repair job, Patriot.

This type of radio doesn't need any special handling. Plug it in and see where the smoke is.
