[Boatanchors] HP 606 vs. 608

[Ken Kaplan]

I'm not famliar with the HP608 but one con about the HP606 is the space it takes up on the 
bench. It's big. But it looks the part and performs well. Good attenuator and frequency 
coverage I need. fyi - it has 11 tubes that are not hard to find (6-12B4A,  2-12AT7, 2-6AW8 
and 1-5651).
