6X5 bypass question
#1

Hey all,
 I just finished a Zenith 6-S-511 and even though it is all good now, I dont want to leave the 6X5 in there...
I had to bypass them in my Zenith 10-S-464 but adding 2 4007 diodes and 2 150 ohm 5W resistors...

  I was thinking that since this radio only has one 6X5 I could use a single diode and a 150ohm 5W resistor by connecting the anode from the wire that went to pins 3 and 5, connecting the cathode to the 5w resistor in series and ending at the wire that was connected to pin 8. this way the tube will still light up but will be safe...

 I was talking with someone and they had said that in this set they thought it would be better to run it the same as the Zenith 10-S-464. Meaning that I should double everything. I would then run one diode and resistor for each plate of the 6X5 joining the 2 anodes and then joining the ends of the 2 resistors. He also recommended using 10W resistors too...

  What do you guys think?
