If someone wants the article on this, I have it here:

The Transistorized LM Frequency Meter
Charles Landahl W5SOT
73 Magazine May 1971
Pp: 60 - 64 with
Page 47 From NAVSHIPS-900,217-1B
(The LM manual).

(The file name is: bc221andLM Soid State.pdf)

The article uses the 3N128, 3N142, and 2N3085 among other choices.

No, I have not done this conversion, and since I have some spare tubes, I
likely will not.  The article begins with:
"The most difficult part of my conversion was getting up the courage to
smash the tubes!"

I guess!  (Please don't!)

LM's and BC-221's forever!
