Hi Paul,

The work has already been done for you. Simply buy the
Replacement Dentron GLA-1000 conversion to the el-509/519
PC Boards cheap from FAR Circuits.

If you keep air moving in the chassis, you should not
have any problems. Sockets are available from a place
in Florida selling on line.

You might also consider joining the yahoo rfamplifiers
group.
