I am seeking six vacuum tubes type 01A. Working used OK.

Hi Jay

You can find 01A's on eBay. Radio swap meets usually have better prices but they don't always show up.

Number 30 tubes can be used if a radio has standard type tube sockets. Just reduce filament to 2 volts.

Norm, Thank you for the tip. The sockets on this radio are a type I am not familiar with. Each one consists of four horizontal fingers spaced 90 degrees in a radial pattern, surrounded by a ring with a bayonet mount. Do you know what such a socket is called? Jay

Hi Jay

You have the old type sockets. They require tubes with a bayonet pin on the side. You do need 01A's for these sockets. There are a few older tubes that will also work such as 112A. Check eBay for numbers like 201A & 301A. These are the same tubes with RCA and Cunningham markings.

Norm, how did you learn about so many tube equivalents? It is rather impressive. Jay
