[AMRadio] COLLINS KWS 1 power supply questions

[Jim Wilhite]

Greg if you replace tube rectifiers with SS plug in units, do remove the 
filament line and take the output from pin 4 in the case of 866s.  Other 
wise you might ruin a transformer someday and you really don't want 
that.  I don't know about the KWS 1, but if the voltage is taken from 
the centertap, it would not be good.
