[Boatanchors] 5U4 vs 5Y3

[Jim Wilhite]

Wait for the right tube Bob, don't chance ruining anything in that receiver. 
The power transformer can be fragile.

Many thanks for all the replies. The set is an NC-183D and one side of its 
5U4 is dead. I was hoping to do some other checkout stuff while waiting for 
a good 5U4 from the tube guys. I'll keep a lookout for too much red on the 
Y's plates. Thanks again  to all that replied.
