Hello Ken,
The blue glow is normal for a vr tube during warm up. As the rest of the
tubes come to life, the current in the vr tube is reduced. It should still
have a blue glow inside after warm up. If not, the vr tube is bad or
something in the radio is pulling too much current.
73, Alan - K6rfk

Boy I'm having fun with my new Drake! I worked 2 stations
in Serbia on 20m SSB (one was mobile), busting right through
a pileup on sunday afternoon. Love it!
Anyways, I noticed that V20 had a neon blue arc at the top
for 5-8 seconds when I first turned on the rig this morning.
Looking at the schematic V20 appears to be a voltage regulator.
I've got 2 questions:
1) Where can I get a replacement?
2) Should I leave my TR4 on from now on?
