[net.ham-radio] Tube replacements

gnome@olivee.UUCP (Gary Traveis) (01/11/86)

Does anyone out their know of a book that gives FET
or transistor replacement circuits for old tubes?

My reason for asking is to upgrade and "solid-state-ify"
an old RT70-GRC 50Mhz radio.  If I knew more about the
complexities of tube circuits, I would venture to try
replacing the tubes with FETs or chips and running the
whole mess off of a lower voltage.

I know -- "Why don't you just buy a new radio?"

'Cause it's built like a tank and has nostalgic value.
