"Yes, it is, and it is foolish for anyone to suggest it."
No it isn't foolish. Not at all. In fact, you can COPY the circuit used in another Fisher model THAT USES THE 12DW7 without much trouble at all. And the gent who suggested it would be happy to help him, I know that for a fact.
"Come on people, help this guy instead of giving contradictory opinions."
You expect everyone here to have the exact same approach to the problem?? Come on, get serious. There are a MILLION different things you can/can't do, the budget for him may be different, the skill level may be different, he may indeed opt to use a $500.00 matched quad of NOS 7591A and then the resistors and caps don't need to be changed until the next time he needs tubes, he may choose to preserve it in totally stock form. It's up to him.
Just because an operation doesn't fall within your skill set doesn't mean it isn't worthwhile. And the guy you said made the "foolish" suggestion has helped as many people on this and other forums as anyone I know of.
I'm sorry for the rant, but unless you personally intend to communicate with the owner exclusively and intend to help him out at every single step, then you are going to have to consider the opinions of others. And Eli Duttman's opinion carries a lot of weight with me - and MANY others here. He's a good soul who wants to help, and a very smart man.
