[Boatanchors] B&W 850A Doc(s) needed

[Gary Schafer]

Bob, which one do you have? There was an 850 and an 850A. One had copper
tubing for the main coil and the other had wire and more turns for the main
coil. I can never remember which model is which.

The difference is that the one with the copper tubing (and fewer turns) is
for low impedance plate loads like a 4CX1000 etc. The one with the wire coil
has more turns and is for tubes like 4-1000 or a pair of 4-400's with higher
plate impedance.
