Convert SLX from EL34 to 6550s

Post by Revjamie » Mon Jul 25, 2016 2:55 pm

Hey Everyone,
I know I'm a rare bird on this one, but I have a SLX I'd like to convert FROM EL34s to 6550s.

Everything I find on google is about how to change from 5881 to el34s. I'm sure I need to change out some resistors.. does anyone know what needs to happen to get 6550s running in this thing?

Thanks!

Generally, you have to change the bias splitter resistors (2 of them) from 220K to 82K.
