[R-390] Miltronix EAC

[Barry Hauser]

Greetings list folk --

As a rule, I never draw attention to anything up for bid you-know-where, but
there is a Rick Mish EAC '68 which raises some questions I just have to ask.

First, I always thought black lettering would look better than white, and it
does.  I doubt I'd paint the stainless steel handles black, though.

The questions:  It appears that this unit has a resistor in place of the
ballast tube, but mounted on a board or something.  Is there more to that,
or just a neat way to mount the resistor?

The power supply is modified -- there's a chassis mount type resistor over
one of the 26Z5W sockets.  The other 26Z5W (or it it?) is still there.
What's that about?  There is also a reference to a time delay relay.  I
suppose that's to delay B+ startup until the filaments have warmed up to
compensate for the solid stated P/S, but why the one tube?

I'm loathe to mention the item number (1365057920), at the risk of
instigating a stampede, but someone might have to look at what I'm lookin'
at so they can tell me, uh ...  what I'm lookin' at. ;-)
