Thanks to all for the 6V6 substitution info. In the back of my brain I kind of remembered that. I also found a pair of 6C4's on eBay and the price was good.

Hi Bob;

Use a 6V6 in place of the 4H4 ballast tube. I have a used but good 6V6GT
and a NOS 6C4 you can have for $5 plus $2 shipping. Good luck.

It appears that I have found the problem in my HRO60.  I turned it on
one
day last week and all I could hear was floor noise.  I couldn't even
hear
the xtal calibrator and all drawers(bands) were the same.  After
much poking
and prodding and tube testing, come to find out the 4H4 has a broken

filament wire, which means that the HF oscillator and the mixer
aren't
getting any filament volts.  Now I need a replacement 4H4.  Anyone
have a
spare they would be willing to part with?  I have a 7H4B but when I
plugged
it in I get 12VAC out to the mixer and HF osc filaments.  My HF
Oscillator
tube 6C4 is really weak so I need one of them too.

Help would be appreciated.
