Hey gang,
Ive been playing with a new Transitone 52-541 code 122. So far, new linecord, recap, some resistors, it plays really nice, but
I have a few questions....
how bright is the pilot lamp supposed to be?
mine is no brighter than a tube filament. socket voltage measures 11v and drops to two once the bulb is inserted. I tried a new 35Z5 tube, no change.
Do i have the correct schematic?
The schematic doesnt show this, but my radio has a series resistor between the 12BA6 and the 7A8, in the filament string, 1,365 ohms, and after playing for half an hour or so it measures 265 degrees F, is that OK? its all the way at the bottom of the photo.
also, the 35L6 tube in the radio, is shown as a 50L6 in the schematic.
