[Hallicrafters] S-108 and SX-99 rectifier tube

[jackiv at juno.com]

Kurt and all- the 5Y3, all of its  family will interchange, same pinout
same characteristics.  BUT be careful, the 5U4 and all of its family 
draw 3 amps at 5 volts re the 5Y3 family at 2 amps.  If the power tx
windings can handle that, OK..  another 5 watts.
But to really interchange without stressing the tx use a 5R4, any family
as the filiament is again 5 volts at 2 amps.
