Stromberg-Carlson 225-H
#16

Boy that ballast tube gets hot....first I thought something was heating and then I realized that that was the ballast and the enamel I used (for gas ranges so it is heat-resistant) gave a little smell. Empty scare but....can never be too careful.

I will tend to the big green dude tomorrow some more, I've done enough today. Some serious voltage measurements plus alignment. I think it is a bit out of it, it behaves very much like the other AA5 out of alignment....or any other radio....

OK, tomorrow then.
