well, it works, there was a 1k resistor bypassed by a .01 cap on the cathode
of the 6cw4, I just hooked the source of the fet to it, adding a 500 ohm
resistor to the drain which passes though the primary of a rf xfmr feeding
the next stage, it is fed with ~16V B+. Works great, since the 6cw4 was bad
there is no way to compare how this affected preformance, but receive seems
hot... noise level good...
Even if a dozen 6cw4's dropped from the sky, I'd just look at 'em....

Anyone ever replaced a 6CW4 Nuvistor with a fet or other transistor?
Got a schematic? Idea of one?
