[SOC] S38 tube count (was ARRL Handbook, etc.)

[Stephen Smith]

Mike is correct; the S38 (no suffix) has 6 tubes.  The additional bulb functions as the BFO.  FWIW, the series heater string adds up to 120VAC.

Hi Curt and all ...  

The S38 has 5 tubes, the filaments added in series came out to about 110 volts so no transformer was needed. I nearly got electrocuted once with a 5 tube ac/dc radio.
