[AMRadio] Looing for solid state replacements for the 8008

[Mark Foltarz]

 Good evening, and thanks for the responses.
I am bringing a Gates 1J in good condition back to life.
There are two different HV rectifier tubes that are currently in the transmitter.One is a United 8008, and the other is a Phillips 8008AX.
The 8008AX is the good tube and performs fine while doing the initial tune up per the manual.I 'll try and find another one of them, and if not I'll go the solid state route.

 The 8008 is electrically the same as a 872A but with the bigger diameter 
Super Jumbo Base and it is a twist lock.
The 872A has a smaller diameter base on it then the 8008, but they are 
both twist locks.
I got boxes of both.
