201A Tube Replacement - Solid State

Looking for information on how to creat a solid state device that can plug into the 4 pin connector and replace the old 201A/301A tubes.

Hi Mike

I've sent you an article about building a solid state replacement for 201A's.

If your radio has standard 4 pin sockets, doesn't require a bayonet pins, 30's will work. Just reduce filament to 2 volts.

I am also interested in a solid state replacement for 201A's. Is the article still available anywhere?

If you keep you eye peeled, especially at radio swap meets, you can find good '01As for less than $10 each. If the filament is OK, the emission can be increased by rejuvenating the tube with higher filament voltage in a tube tester. Also, short-pin '01As will work in most sockets with a side-pin lock.

There is something about having real tubes in the old 1920s battery-powered sets.

I wouldn't even touch a radio if it didn't have real tubes. I don't know why anyone else would. 01A tubes are easily found on eBay all the time, as well as other sources.
