[Collins] 75S-3C

[Glen Zook]

The tubesters typically increased problems with overload due to strong signals as well as degrading other performance as well.

They were developed when solid-state receivers were becoming popular and were an attempt to "improve" operation by going "solid state".  Unfortunately, they really were not an improvement!

Of course your choice ref the tubsters,  Grant.  But if you pull the 
tubsters you will probably have to re-align you 'new' 75S-3.  I've had 
to do that once before. Regardless, enjoy your new receiver. 73 Robert

I’ve been a St. James Gray person for a long time (all of them), except for a KWM-2A  that came through AF MARS that I had for a while (and sadly, was very disappointed in).   The 75S-3C appears to be completely outfitted with tubesters in all tube locations.
