This modification was fairly common even when the receiver was new,
since the 12BZ6 has always been a difficult to source tube. It
apparently was never a very popular tube, making it hard to find in the
60's and much more expensive than the 6BZ6 today.
If there is no 0.005 bypass at the socket, add one.

Good Morning All:
Saw a mention somewhere regarding changing the RF amp tube from a
12BZ6 to a 6BZ6 due to the availability of the 6 volt v. 12volt
versions.
This amounts to a one wire change to carry the 6 volt filament to the
tube (other side is chassis common)
So, is there any downside to this that I should be aware of--seems
liike a logical mod to me after looking into the price of the two
versions.
Thanks,
Curt
