[ARC5] BC-230 / -430 "Four Pin Tube Bases" Not Needed.

[Ben Hall]

Hi Dave,

Very cool.

I assume you're substituting the 6AQ5 / 5763 for the VT-25's - what 
again are you using for the VT-52's?

I know they make PCB-mount 9-pin sockets.  A printed circuit board could 
be laid out that would fit on top of a 4-pin tube base.  I may give this 
a whirl for my BC-430.  :)

thanks much and 73,
ben
