I really like your idea.
As I recall you're using a 4040A so if it works with your unit, I would assume it would work with a 4040 as well. I think I will try it. It seems to me that this would be a cheap, quick, and dirty answer to reducing signal to the radio under test without spending big buck$$ on a proper attenuator (yes, I've looked at some and several tend to be pricey).
Wife prefers TP without tubes inside so I'll have to go a different route. Maybe an old, unused inductor from a speaker crossover? Or maybe a now-unused 2.5 mH RF choke from the Philco 70 I converted to AVC?
