[BC] The value of tube transmitters

[Alan Alsobrook]

The problem child that I know of is the filament bypass capacitor 
(bathtub type) located under the modulator deck of a 20V2. It typically 
works fine until you turn the transmitter off for a while, then when you 
turn it back on the modulators cherry out really fast. Replace the .25uf 
600V cap and all is good again.
