[Gonset] 6BF7 in Communicators

[Geoff Fors]

Some tube salesman must have done a heroic effort selling this subminiature 
wire lead tube to radio manufacturers.  Motorola used it in police mobile 
radio VHF receivers in the early 1950's around the same time as Gonset.  All 
the other tubes were standard miniatures.

There was also a bulletin from Motorola telling shops that the 6BF7 and 6BG7 
were the same tube, the only difference being that one had the leads already 
cut short for plugging into a socket.

Regarding Gonset Communicator manuals, they are in my opinion disorganized 
and difficult to match with a radio you have, at least before the III.
