    Description

    Offered here is a  replacement for the 50A1 ballast tube; simply plug it into your Transoceanic's 50A1 tube socket.    It uses the latest high-voltage linear regulator IC to produce a constant 53 mA of heater current for the tubes in your TO.  I have run one of these in my Transoceanic for many hours with excellent results.  Regulation is tighter that the 50A1 tube and the device should have a virtually unlimited life.  Many of these 50A1 replacements have been sold with many satisfied customers.  Check my feedback.
    Also, I  now offer solid state 1L6, 1R5, 1S5, 1U4, 1U4 with ceramic IF filter, 1U5, 3V4, 0A2, and 0B2 replacements as well as a 1LA6 to 1L6 adapter for the Transoceanics.  Email for current availability or fill out a contact form at
    www.solidstatetubes.com
    .  Also, I offer shipping discount for multiple items.  Please ask for an invoice when purchasing multiple items to receive the discount.
    Note: many radios like the Zenith Transoceanics use direct connections from  B- to the AC mains, so an isolation transformer should always be used for safety when working on these radios.
    Warning.  The heatsink and IC tab operate at an elevated voltages.  Please do not use if not enclosed in a protective case or other means are provided to prevent possible electrical shock.
    Also, certain non-Zenith radios, like the
    RCA 7-BX-10 Strato World may have reversed polarity connections on their 50A1 sockets.   Thus, the 50A1 will not work without modification.
    Thanks for looking!
