If you MUST replace the rectifier tubes in a color(or BW )set, receiver, amp, radio, or anything else, at LEAST leave the filament ckt. connected to the tube. That way, it will "look" like the rectifier tube is powerng the set, as it will be lighted, BUT, the heat will be a LOT less. HOWEVER... I would not recommend replacing a tube rectifier, wiht a SS one,unless there is no reasonable alternative.I, for one, find color sets using rectifier tubes in the power supply, to be the MOST desirable, for collecting, IMHO. (not that many did, and they are not that easy to find, such as RCA ctc 5 and early 7, Zenith 29jc20, Admiral 31z1, etc.)
