I am sitting here on the horns of a dilemma, I am trying to figure out which way to go.
I have a tube amp on the bench for repair (type and output tubes unimportant) with a 6BQ5 tube keyer; the tube is shot according to my tester.
Now, here is the question, do I just run across town and buy a tube for $22.00 and slap it in there and get him out the door with a mark-up on the tube and a service charge
OR,
Do I convert the unit to a solid state (NPN) keyer and a low voltage relay (all available on hand) and get it out the door for the same price as with the new tube and service charge.
So, what do you think?
