[Boatanchors] Copper cap rectifiers

[Bob Raley]

If you visit their web site you will see they also make a solid state
replacement for the 6AL5 which is present in a lot of boatanchor equipment.
While I was looking for their replacements for the 5V4 and 5R4 I noticed
they had listed replacements for the OA2 and 6AL5 tubes which are all
present in my HT-32.  I was thinking someone might have tried replacing
these last two tubes with the copper caps.  Thanks for all the replies.
