The HRO-60 is double conversion, Pedro.  The A and B coils for the HRO-60 won't work in an HRO-50 and vice versa.

Ok, Tnx to all...

Well, I bouhgt one HRO50TI in one local hamfest, some rust and dust, but after some deoxit  and replace the  5V4, the radio get backs to life again, im always surprise for the excellent quality of this rigs.
I bought this mainly for the tunning units for my HRO60, but looks im on the way to start to collect HRO's. ;D

My HRO60 is still in Mexico City in a warehouse, so I can't compare both rigs, thanks for the help guys!

Regards

Pedro,
        Just a tip: If your (expensive) 4H4 ballast toob craps out, you can replace it with a 6V6. It'll work FBOM.
