Help on mounting Heyboer OT to 1959xl chasis
Posted: Mon May 03, 2004 1:39 am
Hi all,
I am replacing both the choke and OT on my plexi reissue (2004 xl) as I am putting a PTP board in.
I have a Mercury Magnetics 10H choke and a Heyboer OT, and neither are direct replacements size wise...is this normal? I hate to hack up my chassis to install these.... The main problem is with the OT, the Heyboer is WAY larger than the Dagnall that I am replacing, in fact it is the size of my Dagnall PT. I can tell from the wiring however that it is an OT... If I put it in the usual place, I will have to remove the tube retainers to fit it. Also if I ever want to use KT88s, I am sca-rewed.... I could switch the position of the choke and OT, but this seems ODD!!
Advice is needed here.... Thanks
