[R-390] Gentlemen ??

Don: Thanks for the gentle reminder.  I never met a ballast tube, or
anything else for that matter, that justified being insulting to someone.

I'm perfectly willing to consider alternatives to a ballast tube, and if
someone wants to develop a complicated solid-state version of one (or, worse
yet, one that is DSP-based, with an 802.11b Ethernet connection for Web
monitoring of its vital functions), then have at it.  Mind you, I'll
probably shop around for a replacement ballast (or go the power resistor
route) or something else, but this is a HOBBY, and if someone wants to enjoy
themselves by building a ballast-tube replacement, well and good.  I
probably won't be interested in purchasing one, but I'll certainly enjoy
discussing the circuit design with him.

I'm just grateful for the folks on this list who know something about these
wonderful receivers...mine works better than it ever has thanks to the
suggestions made here.

Let me remind you all of the zero tolerance for ugliness here.  Remember,
this is a technical forum, where technical ideas are bandied about.  Leave
the mud-slinging elsewhere.

Happy holidays!
