Henry,
I hear that my 41-300 is awesome during the day, at dusk it gets turned off. The same goes for the 42-340 I rehabbed for my MIL. I need to check out the twin coil you mentioned. I recapped all the electrostatics and the run cap on my 55 yesterday and tried it and lo and behold it fired right up, Icon_biggrin

. I'm waiting on a 78 tube and am fashioning a power supply for the mystery control so I can test it before moving on to replacing the rest of the caps. I don't think this was used much back in the day, all but one of the resistors is within 10%. The caps look good, but I would hate to finish the cabinet then need to take the chassis back out because I didn't replace them.
Have a merry Christmas.
Glenn

Happily back in Illinois..not.
