Make sure you pay CLOSE attention to neutralizing new
finals in the 101...if its off a little new tubes will
not last long. Also if you use Sylvania's you have to
change the fixed 100pf cap in series with the
neutralization variable cap to a 10pf 1kv silver mica
unit. Also check out this excellent site on the FT-101
series:
