Or in the case of the SR-500 I have,  an SR-160 with an identity 
problem.   Someone -  probably frustrated by the high cost of the 8236s 
(or maybe lacking the PS-500 power supply) - converted it back to low 
power sweep tubes.  I think it's got a pair of 6DQ5s, in any event it 
runs fine with 100 watts output off of the standard PS-150 p/s.  More of 
a Windstorm than a Tornado though...
