[Johnson] More Valiant Progress

[peter markavage]

And yet, I've been running ECG 6146B's in my Valiant since around 85, B's
in my Apache since around 74 or 75, a B in my Ranger since 88.
No unusual operating anomalies throughout this time using this stuff
other then maybe an occasional glowing of the knobs. One of my Valiants
even used a mixture of A's and B's. Even ran B's in my HT-32A.
Life is good.
