[Hammarlund] I count 8 BBoD's

[Phil Atchley]

Al et al.
I double checked. All the ceramic disk capacitors look to be part of the
original build, and there are only 8 BBoD's in the main chassis.  Naturally
I'll look in every nook and cranny as I go through it.  It appears this set
may have been built during the changeover to ceramics or something as "most"
of the bypass capacitors etc are ceramic.  It's S/N 13821.
