Pilot Blue Peter. [Actually a Continental]
Hi all I've come across a Blue Peter, I've seen one before however this particular model has a front facing valve (6U5G) unlike any model I've seen pictured or otherwise.
layout is 6U5G (on cab), 6BE6, 6BA6, 6AT6, 6AQ5, 6x4. |

Re: Pilot Blue Peter. Unknown model.
The 6U5G is a Magic Eye
Is it anything like this one ? https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/pilot_continental.html Cheers Mike T

Yeah pretty similar, different colours and the obvious valve visible on the head.

Re: Pilot Blue Peter. Unknown model.
Unfortunately most of this style Magic Eye (tuning indicators) are too dim to see these days.
Replacements can be had but are quite expensive. Oh and by the Way welcome to the forum Cheers Mike T
