Yes ed is correct there is the model 208 and 208tr the 208 uses a ballast tube and the tr does not it will the model will be stamped in ink on the cardboard or what ever that is on the lower chassis rear controlls it will be stamped tl tm or tr the tm and tr are very similar. Sears and firestone portables use the tr also. THE EASIEST WAY TO TELL IS THE 208 TL HAS RECTANGULAR CINCH TYPE CONECTION BETWEEN CHASSIS AND THE TM AND TR HAVE A ROUND PLUG TO CONNECT CHASSIS. REMEMBER ONLY THE TL USES A BALLAST TUBE. THE TUBE NUBER IS TBR- 103D I THINK THE 102D OR THE 104D WILL ALSO WORK. SEE PHOTOS OF PLUGS.
