I remember those laminated dials, Ron. In fact I still have one for a model 89 I decided not to use because it just didn't look right. I'm perfectly happy with RD's scales now. The height of the embossed lettering really isn't noticeable unless you're looking at the dial from the side. All I meant is if they could get it flush they'd be a perfect match to the originals. It's not a complaint by no means...never look a gift horse in the mouth, and these dial scales are a gift from RD to all of us!

The pinout is the same but the 5U4 has a 3 amp filament, verses 2 amps or less on the 5Z4. I think that the pinout of a ...Arran — 12:04 AM |
