Just realized how many old tube radios are sitting in a shop near me

I was in a junk shop over in Springfield and saw a whole shelf of tube radios from the 50s and 60s, all priced under $20. The owner said he gets them all the time but nobody knows how to fix them anymore. Has anyone here worked on one recently and have a good source for finding replacement tubes?

Used to think those old radios were just junk until I found a Philco at a yard sale. There's a site called Antique Electronic Supply that has a ton of tubes and schematics, got mine working with their help. It's not too hard once you find a guide online, just need a basic soldering iron.

My soldering skills are a fire hazard waiting to happen.
