Was looking inside my SX-17 and I noticed 2 of the tubes, were lacking their tube shields.? I could have sworn they were there years ago so where are they ?
Looked into my box of tubes and sure enough, there are the 2 tubes shields.? Brought them over to the rig to put them in but they are too tall for me to connect the grid cap, wires are too short.
Really ?? I went back into my photos archives and found a picture I took of the inside chassis years ago, and sure enough, there? are the 2 tubes with their shields.
So upon putting the shields in, I found the grid cap wires are too short ????? I'm wondering how this is possible when my old images show them on the tubes with the wires connected.
So, I am thinking there were 2 different size tube shields, basically shorter ones and the two I have are not from the SX-17 I have.
I have attached 2 images.? One taken with the tube shield on (far corner ) and the other without.? I'm starting to think it might be easier to just extend the wires from under the chassis or there actually were shorter tube shields.? The tube id's 6J7 & 6R7.
