[Boatanchors] Cold "807"?

[Revcom Electronics]

Back when it was a "no no" to mention certain things
on the radio, imagine that, it was a way to get the point 
accross without the offensive mention of BEER. And
at that time the 807 was a popular tube.  Later we used
-6146- to indicate a more powerful cocktail.

Supposidly the XYL didn't know what it was either,
har har.

Been around for more than 50 years that I know of.
