40-190 nightmare
#1

Still trying to figure out this ultra modified 190 chassis.
Not only was the power supply section modified to eliminate the 84 tube, as well as the electrolitics being confusing and the mysterious dogbone resistor that does not belong, now after looking closer, I realized that the 7J7 tube was replaced with an 8 pin 6J8.
What the H**l?
Of course the original 7J7 tube socket would have to be replaced seeing as it has an 8 Pin tube socket in it's place now.
Should I just scrap this morphadite out now and hope to find another chassis?
I have run into these basket cases a couple times now, and I just get frustrated trying to get it back to where it makes sense.
Any encouraging thoughts?
