Flea Market (Radio Hamfest) AM Alarm Clock bought in NOT working condition. Tubes are in series and none of the tubes were glowing (internal tube heaters need to heat up to work and in these type of radios they are in a series like Christmas lights) If one is bad they all don’t "light". The tubes are a common type so I checked them all with my tube tester, replaced one bad one (a 6BE6 converter) turned it on and it worked but there is a hum. The main filter capacitor will be bypassed with a 22uF 400v capacitor. Taken with a Canon 20D mixed natural morning light filled in with a flash (that’s why I had to take it off of a bit of an angle: The flash reflection would have been a killer.
