[AMRadio] Tube ID

[Larry Szendrei]

The OC2 is a 7-pin miniature that glows bright orange; it's a 75-volt 
regulator.

If you have access to a TEk 575 or similar curve tracer it's very easy 
to measure, also it's almost as easy with a bench supply, current 
limiting/voltage dropping resistor, and a voltmeter.
