Westinghouse H104
#1

Hello, Working on a Westinghouse H104. Been recapped and all the usual stuff. Plays very nice. My question is does this radio really need a 5U4 rectifier tube? Sounds like overkill. Wondering if I could sub in a lighter rectifier? If so what would I use? This radio makes a lot of heat. 

Tube lineup;
2 6Y6 push pull
2 6SK7
1 6SA7
1 6SF7
1 5U4

Schematic here. http://www.nostalgiaair.org/PagesByModel...024229.pdf
