The Emerson has an intermittent problem w/static crashes that are controllable w/ the volume control. It's not from 12BA7 mod, it had the problem before. Thinking a bad if can. When it was working I did take notice that on an unmodified set fading stations like the CA stations would fade down nothing where the modified set would fade some but still very copyable. I don't have a good calibrated generator w/good attenuator in microvolts. So the results arn't scientific just anecdotal.

Chas, I saw that site a while back and it was one of the things that encouraged me to give it a whirl. I'm pretty sure I remember reading about back in the '60s. Back in '52 Collins updated their 75A2 from using the 6BE6 to the 6BA7 has two. Something else awaiting repair...

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
