[Hallicrafters] 5Y3GT Replacement

[Mark Bell]

One way:

Put a 5Y3 in the socket and measure the voltages.  Then put the SS
replacement in.

If the voltage is off by the voltage drop of the 5Y3, there ain't no
dropping resistor.

> I'm working on an SX-100. The 5Y3GT has been replaced by a commercial made
solid state replacement. It is a 1N1238. It is a direct replacement, 8-pin
unit.

replacement and how reliable they are?Last does it need a dropping resistor
or is it built in, it is heavy.
