There are some workarounds for the missing 1L6. A guy over on
rec.antiques.radio+phono makes an adaptor to use the older loctal tube, and
there's a sub for the 1L6 if you just want it to make some sounds...although
the sub (can't remember the #, someone will chime in with it) doesn't have
very good h.f. performance.

Many good resources on the web, in case you're not already aware of them. A
good place to start is he http://trans-oceanic.fortunecity.net/index.html

Wanna double your investment?

What are you saying Barry? It's worth $6.00 {?} ;-P

Yeah, I'd give you $6 for it!
Sounds like you're going to have some fun with it. I'm finishing up a
restoration on a Zenith Transoceanic H-500. Stripped and recovered the
cabinet
and am working on getting the electronics done. Unfortunately, this one
didn't
have the expensive 1L6 that it really needs to work properly.

Have fun,
