Motorola Troubles

[bgadow]

I've disliked ballasts since my first experience with one in a prewar Motorola radio, many years back. They seem like an archaic way of doing things. Dummy here destroyed the ballast in his VT71 by pulling a tube with the set on. I was able to fit a couple resistors inside the old part & put the others under the chassis. Someday I want to add the filament transformer.
