I made my own adapter using the tube manual as a guide, but without a voltage doubler which is what I assume is in Mr Turner's adapter, so I just ran it on 6.3 volts instead of the 12.6 volts. I did this more as an experiment then as a genuine desire to replace a 6U5/6E5 in a restoration, I'm kind of indifferent as to whether my set has a fresh eye tube or not as it's mostly just a gimmick. This isn't an issue with this brand Z model or with other sets that have the magic eye mounted well above the chassis but in some sets, like ones where the eye is mounted lower down, there simple isn't room for the adapter.
