You're quite welcome... for grins, I poked around a bit more and found the *actual* issue on a very interesting site that appears to have tons of the magazines that some/many here might remember.

I own a 1232 and a 1270 both sets have a power transformer, so 6 volt heaters all around. All the best, Tom
