[Boatanchors] Converter info

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi Ray,

My database says I have a 6BQ7 tube. It's yours if you still need. My 
tubes are mixed NOS and used pulls. There is no way to know which is 
which any more. So consider them all used. I will run any tubes over the 
tube tester to avoid gross failures. If your address is good on QRZ I'll 
get them coming your way if want them. I will send two so you have a spare.

73,

Thanks to the great advice and help I got from you folks here, I have the spec sheet and the schematic for this International FCV-2, model 50.  Now, I just need to locate a 6BQ7A tube for it.  The 6U8 is still on board.  Our good friend here Glen Zook says a 6ES8 will also sub for it.

That's why I say 90% there to firing this converter up and deciding which receiver I'm going to pair it up with.
