Is there no way you can repair L451?
I have something in mind and will try it very soon. I had to look back on my lifetime training in redneck engineering for a possible solution. The wiring is still intact and the slug is still there, so it's probably functioning.

On a side note, I've been digging into the GR-370 again. I hooked it to my DVD player and got clear sound, but on an adjacent channel so perhaps someone messed with the IF stage. I did find a diddle stick in there. Also, to my surprise, it has a HV rectifier tube, a 3A3C. I can draw an arc from the fly lead, but the tube shows no signs of life. It isn't gassed out though. Might the tube be bad, or could it be something else?
