![]() I'm fixing up an old Hallicrafters Tube radio and I look to replace the original type 47 bayonet lamp with a long lasting LED lamp. IF the old Hallicrafters is an S-38, some substitution caution is in order. The pilot light on this (transformerless) model is wired in parallel with one half of the rectifier tube's filament. If the current drawn by the substitute lamp is too low, the heater (filament) voltage across ALL the tubes will be a wee bit higher. Maybe not a good thing for tube longevity. Old Chief Lynn |
