Larry, I did use the 6BE6 as the mixer, works great! The IF amps are 6BA6 tubes, the detector is a 6BJ8(triode, twin diode), the S meter amp is a 12AU7, the LO is a 6C4, and the bfo (455Khz xtal osc) is a 6BH6. I had problems with the 6BZ6 tubes I tried to use as IF amps and changed to the 6BA6 tu

Brett, Yes I know that circuit. I looked a lot at some of Bill's circuits when I did my first regulator, and what I used has parts in it stolen from Bill. I found that I got tighter regulation with the 6AH6 error amp tube over the 6AU6. I also had the problem where every time I tu
