Cleaning the original tubes for the BC-610H...
This morning I began unwrapping each of the original tubes for the BC-610H I am currently restoring.
Each tube was carefully wrapped in newspaper over 30+ years ago...
Each tube was filthy, basically caked on dust...
I gently dry wiped wiped down each tube, watching not to remove the glass labeling. Then a damp terry cloth, then a dry buff....
Some tubes already had the paint labeling worn off...
I did notice one of the 807's and both 32B8's base's were slightly loose.
Also one of the 807's top cap came off and was found at the bottom of the box.
The anode of the top was not harmed or the area were the anode enters the tube at the very top appears sealed.
I know that I can re solder the top cap, but what can be used as a adhesive for the cap and also the same for the bottom base?
I've come across this product while doing a search...

Thanks...
