REPLY: Any s.n., though 6HS6s are harder and harder to get. If you stay
above s.n. 21,000 this will not be an issue.

REPLY: The power supply mod is a bit clunky on the really old ones, as the
voltage is too low and you have to bootstrap the input to the regulator off
the filament line. Again, if you go for 21,000 and up, no problems. But
you can mod any R-4C.
