And so, like all good "tinny and bull****" sessions, we come back to
the original question - if Dave hasn't wandered off, in boredom or
disgust. And like all good amateur arguments, we have suggestions
ranging from ludicrous to....ludicrous.

We have had - an engineered, high tech solution
A stuff it, just power it up solution
The KISS solution - use a light bulb in series
The do it slowly and painstakingly with a metered variac solution
Some reminiscences about the "old days"
Someone else offered to buy the radio, but got their models mixed up.
Answers from people who, well, really....dunno why....

And all valid, all correct - so, Dave - take your pick which one YOU
use.......alternatively, there is a TS520/530/820/830 group on Yahoo.
You could post your question there - they have heaps of people who
lovingly use, restore these old radios - mind you, the answers will be
as broad spectrum as here, and LOTS more off em hi hi.
