Quote:Mortz, not wishing to get off target from the restoration of that lovely radio but I have to ask Steve about his dog bones. My question is about the soldering of the two wraps at each end together. Would seem like the heat required would melt most plastics?

Jerry, melting the plastic has not been a problem for me. I use a piece of tinned buss wire to extend the leads out of the tube, it solders very easily and just takes a couple of seconds, not enough time to melt the plastic.
