I'm currently working on a GE model GD63. I need a 49A ballast tube and not only are they hard to find, they are not cheap. I've read that these tubes can be replaced by using a resistor. If this is true, it would be a big help. Not only do I have one of these radios on the bench, I've got another coming in this week... and I bet it needs the same tube...

Here is a link to the schematic..

Any help is greatly appreciated.. and please remember who you are talking to here.. (translated - speak to me like you are teaching a 2nd grader.. Icon_lol

) .. I'm not the greatest at chassis work. Icon_redface
