Ballast Tube Question..
#11

Thanks to everyone, very much, for trying to help me. To be very honest, I don't trust myself to attempt the conversion. The two sets that I have, that require this tube, they are very valuable and, sort of rare, radios. I would feel terrible if I messed them up. Plus, I may have to sell one of them, and I want to make sure that any radio I sell is as perfect as possible. If I lived near one of you, I'd mow your lawn or something if you'd show me how to do it.

If it were as simple as soldering a resistor between two pins, I would do it.. but it sounds a little more complicated. I went ahead and spent the money on the tubes. They should be here by Monday. You guys amaze me with the amount of knowledge you have. BTW- The Tube Center is where I ordered from. They seem to have everything.
