Just wondering if anyone can give me an idea of a model number and if it's tube or SS? Thanks

I'm confused...

Is this a trick question?

Model M-1680-124
Google = THIS

IOW - yes...

The fact that it doesn't explicitly say "no user serviceable parts inside" says tube.

Maybe I need to get better glasses?:yes: Thanks for pointing that out, I appreciate it.

Here's another hint/trick
CL will scale the uploaded image to fit their box on the page, but it doesn't seem to reduce the original file size. So if you "right click" on the image and hit "open image in new tab" (for Chrome - similar I'm guessing for FF or IE) then you can sometimes see a much larger image - and you can zoom.

That's a great tip, I will give it a try, thanks.

True.
Also, if there is an interlock you can assume it is tube.

The interlock would be on the back cover and visible from the outside?

Usually, like on the back of the Philco, it says if there is an interlock. Its purpose is to keep people from killing themselves when changing tubes.

Thanks. :thmbsp: Good to know.
