Tube replacements

[Jan Skirrow]

You'll find a complete look at a ss replacement for the legendary 1L6 at
http://www2.gdi.net/~padgett/index.htm.

The 1L6 (found in Zenith Transoceanics and Hallicrafters Transworld radios)
is a pentagrid converter, so the ss replacement is probably about as
complicated a design issue as you'll find in low signal level aps.

I see no reason why any tube can't be replaced, and suspect that as the
current supply of tubes dries up, more ss replacements will be designed.
Otherwise, our Boatanchors will be just that!
