Sorry Lee! I've also been putting in some moulding in the house. (Probably misspelled it too!) It is a Honey-Do day with the wife off.
I'm still trying to figure out why some that sit and have been used, versus the ones IN the radio that have sat are the ones that are the ones showing the "gassy" indications. Then there is the T-213 that has sat for several years, and the tubes are all crystal clear. I am finding neither rhyme nor reason. I'm at the befuddlement point!
