Well, I took a look today to see how difficult it would be to convert the 6C4 HFO over to a
6AH6:
It ain't easy.
The entire socket would have to be changed: the original socket has both pins 2 and 5
completely missing from the socket...as in...removed...blank...
Furthermore, the socket connections are rather difficult to get to.
AAAAAAANNNDD...all the sockets are riveted.
So...plan B...
I bought a batch of military Sylvania 6C4WAs, and some military Sylvania 6BE6s and 5150s.
Now, I will see if I can reduce the rather severe instability...
If I can't, then I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and change the socket.
Dang...
