Swan 500 Oscillation

[Bob]

Check Fair Radio as they had them for a bout 18 bucks or so not that long
ago.  You may also want to convert the thing to the beam tube used in the
later Swans.  6JH8 or something like that... there are surely a bunch of
folks on the list who can help you with that item.  Also make sure that the
7360 is truely bad and not some bypassing problem or audio oscillation since
just pulling the 7360 only breaks the string.  If the audio section is
oscillating, the problem may just appear to go away without this balance
modulator in place.  Just a thought.
