Thanks for the help with the L-15 filament choke overheat problem. The
filament line that runs over to the other 6146 was pulled down too tight
around the leg of pin 8 which is connected to a ground lug just below
it. I loosened the ground line going to pin 8 of the 6146 to get some
separation between ground and that filament line. There must have been
just enough resistance to cause that choke to overheat. I remember
having a similar problem with an SX101A. When these things were first
assembled they probably never thought that their creations would still
be in operation sixty or so years later. Thanks again.
Burt Pratt, K4PRF
