I briefly mentioned that my DAC90 has been converted to an AC90. I took out the asbestos lined mains dropper and replaced it with an auto tx as shown at the bottom of the manufacturers DAC90 sheet. This enabled me to use a 6v bulb from its own tapping, greatly reduced heat, and no chance of it giving you asbestosis. I cut out the burnt area of the back and made a "patch" from a back with the same type of back. The TX was made by Ed Dinning same TX has tappings for use in the DAC90A gets around the hard to find bulbs plus other benefits.
