[Heathkit] Heathkit TX-1 Help...

[dlarson]

Hi Jordan.  My TX-1 has the same holes.  I believe mine is an early
model as it has a 6AL5 bias rectifier tube.  I got a manual from
Pete the Manual Man and it shows a couple of selenium rectifiers for
the bias supply. Pictures in the manual doesn't show the holes.  I
put a 1/2" plug in the hole in mine. Looks ok but wish the hole wasn't
there.
