TR-4 - V11 12BZ6


 

The serial number for my TR-4 is 26040 which is presumably a Version 3 rig.

According to Garey's TR-4 documentation, V11 switched from a 12BA6 to a 12BZ6 at Version 4 (S/N 27000) but my TR-4's V11 is a 12BZ6 (not just the tube but the label beside its socket as well).

Is it possible Garey's chart is incorrect or am I misunderstanding it? I found the following comment from Garey as well:

/g/DRAKE-RADIO/message/13132

I'm just curious as to the apparent discrepancy. Anyone know?

Thanks,

Barry:

Per Garey's schematics,?I see V-11 changing at #26,000 to a 12BZ6....so yours would agree with that change.

I think I verified that as well a few weeks ago.? Thanks for the confirmation.
