[AMRadio] Ferroresonant transformer revisited

[Rick Brashear]

No doubt, they are noisy rascals, hot too.  Geoff, I'm glad you 
mentioned 450TL.  I have one I acquired with an old BC-610 someone had 
hacked up trying to make an amplifier.  Is there a way to test more than 
the filament other than putting it in a working amplifier?  I'd kind of 
like to build something around it, but would hate to get it all complete 
only to find the tube was too weak or dead.
