Hi all:
I acquired a PAIR of 39-55s (sans mystery remotes and all tubes, waah) a few months ago, which were literally waiting at the curb for the trash. Now, having read a few things about the operation and alignment/repair of these units, it seems to me a good idea to get the main radio portion functioning first, then tackle the remote receiver side. Therefore, has anyone got a 'tidy' way to operate the unit without the remote side? Could it be as easy as not installing the tubes for the remote rcvr? If so, then so much the better, as a full set of tubes is in the $100 ballpark - rather not have to buy them all at one time (not to mention 2 sets). As always, thanks in advance for all input.
