Warren, The radio also makes a chirp sound when it's shut off. Is this normal with this capacitor ballast? I doesn't do this with a "real" ballast tube either.Thanks, Dave :Here is a link showing the AC capacitor trick. For your dial lamp, lift the heater ground on the last tube in the series. Add your dial lamp now in series to ground, shunt the lamp with a 47 ohm 1 watt resistor. : :http://www.oldradiosrus.com/build.html : :Runs cool, slow start, tubes like it and last longer. : :IPAddress: ***.81.29.49
