L-49B Ballast tube. What are the resistor values inside?

Posted by Dave Froehlich on 04/27/2010 16:12

Warren,
I do not want to "modify" the radio to work with a non-standard ballast tube. Everything has to be in the Ballast tube and nowhere else. In the article about these capacitor ballast tubes, the person uses a resistor in the ballast tube for the dial lamp and it works. How does he get it to work, is what I'd like to know.

Thanks,

Dave

:To make the dial lamp work, use a #44 bulb. Lift the last tubes heater connection going to ground, now add the dial lamp in series with that last tubes heater going to ground. Put a 47 ohm 1 watt resistor across the dial lamp. ( A Shunt ) No need for any resistor in place of the ballast tube for the dial lamp.
