[Kenwood] T-599D Final tubes ???

[Joe LeKostaj]

Bill,

My T-599D operating manual says "S2001 (6146B)" on the Features page, 
but I believe this is an error. Is this the conflicting info you 
mentioned? My understanding is that S2001 = 6146/6146A, while S2001A 
= 6146B.

Everywhere else in the T-599D manual it calls the finals S2001, and 
that is what my T-599D contains. So I would replace them with 
6146/6146A, not B.

The service manual for TS-530S says it uses "S2001A/6146B". So 
evidently Kenwood switched to the B version for their later tube PA 
models.

HTH. 73,
