Michael,

NO sir, I did not paint the transformers. The Eico's P.T. in particular was nasty looking. I scrubbed it with a toothbrush, rags, and "Bon Ami" cleanser " No chlorine, Perfume, or Dye......Since 1886.....Hasn't scratched yet". Guess where that Bon Ami is made...Kansas City !!

The magnetic shields on the HF-81 will need to be redone Michael in 10 gauge steel, same exact configuration, because I think Mr. Dave "clip lead" Slagle is correct about materials choice, as usual. Thank you Dave!!

Michael, whenever tubes are too close to iron, including rectifier tubes, the shields HELP in a clearly audible way. And, I have found that rectifier tubes themselves will feed into small signal tubes if they are too close to each other.

Tre', mikeyb, Triode_Kingdom and arend-jan will gladly give us all the scientific explaination, as to "why",.... you see, its all gotta be clearly spelled out in RDH4. :-)
