I really like the 6ES8 mixer/6GM6 front end conversion I did on my 75A4. 
The only problem I encountered is that the RF gain is now significantly 
higher resulting in overload on strong SSB signals.  I can live with this by 
reducing the RF gain control but somewhere down the line I will tackle this 
problem.  Apart from this, my 75A4 is an excellent performer in digging weak 
ones out of the crud on CW and is sure a much more enjoyable receiver to 
operate than the stock version.
