Richard, Bad switch, Bad! The replacement switch is a Switchcraft 50212LX, got it thru Mouser. Couldn't believe that the switch was available. So, the 150 Ohms is to replicate the filament string? I measured the resistance (with the power off!) and got 271 Ohms, I measured continuity on each tube filament, and there is continuity in each one. Also popped them in my tube tester and each showed good. Should I still tack in the 150 ohms? The closest Zener I have is a 1N4735 6.2V 1W or a 1N5340 6V 5W. Would that work? If not I could purchase some. Thank you all and let me know. Joe
