[Collins] Fairchild AC PS

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Rockwell Collins was the same company as Collin Radio, same buildings, 
same products, and same employees except for lack of Art Collins as 
head. I would guess (I don't have data) that the Rockwell power supply 
is probably using silicon diodes for the power rectifiers rather than 
vacuum tubes like 5Y3 and 5U4. The silicon diodes will last a lot longer 
than the vacuum tubes.
