   wow, what a lot of answers!! Thank you and I will answer a few questions
first. I did have a "B" line back in the early 80's and loved it. Got DXCC and
WAS plus a lot of other contacts. I also had a tube checker and a tube caddy
full of replacement tubes for most of my equipment which was mostly tubed
back then. I sold it to get my TR-7 and then moved and gave away almost all the
extra goodies, so no extra tubes for the Drake gear. I also have a 
R-4 & T-4 and
a R4C and T4XC plus the TR-7.
  I cannot test the tubes as I do not have a tube tester or access to 
one as AES
has gotten out of the tube business years ago.
  But, the question was answered as what the difference is and where 
is the best
place to purchase them.

   Thanks to all for the suggestions and comments. I will let you 
know how I fair
when the job gets done....
