[Central-Electronics] 6550 Finals

Sun, 20 Apr 2003 22:58:38 -0400

Hi Jim,
I'm reluctant to jump in on this, but I vaguely remember that the
envelope size on some of the 6550s was a bit too large to comfortably
fit in the 100V/200V transmitters.  Perhaps someone with a better memory
than mine will chime in.  I would also like to hear from anyone who has
tried the Svetlana 6550s.
