   Hey Ethan, this is cool!

   While there has been a great deal of sage advice, speculation, maybes,
and 'try this' posts concerning the 026 - yours is the first positive
lead.

  Would it be possible for you to go pop the back off the machine and give
Sellam and/or the List just a quick note of what tubes are in what
sockets, or, if they are all the same type, could you let us know that
too??

  This would remove the nagging doubt caused by no doco and no clear info.

   Thanks!!

 Cheerz

John

PS: If your machine also uses 25L6s in it, they are common, plentiful, and
cheap - $4 - $7 generally for NOS units.
