[Boatanchors] Telefunken

[Richard Post]

Hi Jeff,

Unfortunately my favorite source only lists the Opus 52.  It may be 
close enough to be of value however. Compare tube complements.

The 7 volt pilot lamps usually means standard 6.3 volts. Europeans 
typcially favored the screw base lamps.

The Allied Electronics Data Handbook has lots of data on American 
/European tube equivalents.

I keep links to both of these online resources on my webpage.
