[Kenwood] Help - Removal of 12BY7A in T-599D

Fri, 14 Nov 2003 22:04:50 -0500

    I would suspect the finals before the driver.. I have a set of these
radios, and I ended up removing the driver, but I cannot remember if I had
to do anything special.  Suprisingly, the driver tube tested 100% good on my
tube tester.
