If I remember right, one capacitor is changed, and one is either added or
deleted. I have GE's mod sheet that tells you how to "convert" a 40 watt
406-420 to a 420-450. Email direct if you want a copy.

Only the 40 watt board, and only a couple of components like I mentioned.
The PA board (if you had a 100 watt PA) doesn't require modifications.

I'll have to look at the schematics again; I thought there was a difference
between the low-pass filter boards but maybe not. It might be easier just
to sub in an LPF out of a 450-470 radio since they're easy to come by.
