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.
