I never did see a plug-in shelf. That must have been a special or very 
late production.

The normal unit supplied with the Dualux units that I worked with was the
same as Gatesway. On one Dualux that I worked with for several years I
replaced the PS for the board with a heavier "home brew" and used the 
B+ from the standard PS for the mon. amp. only.  This meant changing the
mute relay supply, but that was simple. Getting all the AC including fils.
out of the board and replacing 5879's with EF-86's made it very quiet.

Nice board but I hated changing the Centralab pre-selector switches.
Those did tend to wear fast. The ones with the Daven pots were great
after adapting the 5879's with Vector sockets to EF-86. Sadly, most of
the ones that came with EF-86 boards had those sealed Langevin pots.
Ugh. :(
