On the 1209 you just add a wire.

On 1209s I had to cut round the pin to isolate the pin from ground with a dremmel and then tie the grids tougher.


Infact if we simply make a jumper from pin 5 (G1) to pin 7 (KH) in 1209s neckboard we will connect G1 to ground!!!

He repeated the warning in his subsequent post

PLEASE ON THE 1209S DON'T FORGET TO DREMMEL THE BOARD AROUND THE KG PIN IF NOT IT WILL BE A MASSIVE SHORT G1 TO GROUND. AFTER YOU DREMMEL USE A DROP OF SILICONE OR HOT GLUE TO PREVENT ARCS

I have no idea if the modify would adversely affect tube life.
I do not know anything about this modify Rolling Eyes
I just explained the practice what we read in the other forum.

I put P19LUGs in my 1209s and did not do anything to the neckboards. It looks great to me (and others...)

I've removed the my pictures because I noticed that was wrong!
In your picture above (and in my pictures that I've removed) the pin that show "PIN 5" is really pin 9 (filament).

If someone tried to modify his neckboards with these wrong pictures, no worry.
I personally modified my neckboards following wrong pictures, with Lug's tubes, and they works anyway.
With useless filament voltage in pin7 (extra grid in lug's tubes, nothing in others tubes).
Sorry. Embarassed
