Uh oh....does this mean the "beat the dead horse" subject is once again 
alive??

My 2 cents........I have had 33 R-390A's and one (sob) R-390. I have used 
solid state devices for years.....some will say I'm a witch.....(I think the 
terminology is Warlock), but here goes.

They ALL work, resistors, diodes, solid state ballast replecement modules, 
tubes, 12BA6's, 12BH7's and others. I recommend Chuck Rippel's replacement 
module, as it works great and has a soft start feature.

Other opinions are welcome and will appear as if by magic shortly.

The 3TF7 is available new for approximately $40, but they are in short supply.
