The Emtron DX-2 Alek is talking about uses a 4CX1600B.
There is no choice on the step-start because there is only
one transformer that supplies everything in the amp. The
PS filter contains 58 mfd worth of total C, so it is a prime
candidate for a good soft turn-on.
BTW, Rich, sitting proudly between the anode and the plate
choke is a suppressor made from Nichrome wire.(3 resistors,
and a "U" shaped wire)
