Geeeeez! Sorry for your confusion. The "It" in the sentance referred to the preceeding noun, that being "receivers", meaning that the "Sensicon A" series receivers all had miniature tubes. The receiver I think you have, a 13V(A), has all "Loctal" tubes (do yo know what they are?). As I asked earlier, What is the model number stamped on the front panel? George
