[ARC5] Operation of ARC-5 Transmitter

[Cliff Miller]

Thanks everyone for the replies.  I checked for the screen grid mods but
found the transmitter to be stock with no SG connections except the rear
connector.  I had 239V on the oscillator power input and got no glow on the
1629.  All the filaments are lit FB but no joy.
Any checks I could do before ordering a new magic eye tube?  Is the
difference with 250V enough to prevent proper operation?
Again, thanks everyone.
