There is no socket conversion needed. The 6DQ5 is a direct "plug and play".

Thank you Walt for your SR-160 and SR-500 information, weak points, and the finals. ?I think I've read an early post of yours talking about converting the 8236 tube socket to 6DQ5. ?I didn't have a clue about tube height though. ?Also didn't know about
the temperature compensation capacitor failure. ?I will download your SR-500 repair manual. ?I've seen your other repair manuals before and they are a godsend! ?
?
I'm going to keep my eyes open for an SR-500 Tornado to satisfy a nostalgic urge for the SR-160 and the long time desire to own one of the premium transceivers like the Tornado, Cyclone, Hurricane. ? If someone on the list knows of a nice condition Tornado
for sale, I'd appreciate hearing about it. ?

Thanks.. ?73, Scott WA9WFA
