[ARC5] Solid State 6AL5

[Richard Knoppow]

     I don't remember if I ever measured the resistance of the 
5R4 replacement I have and don't know where it is now. However, 
the B+ with it installed was substantially higher than with the 
tube rectifier and it was small so I don't think it had anything 
but diodes in it.
