[Lowfer] LF-receiver, BC-1206

[Dave Brown]

I had one of these some years back-surprisingly good little rx and truly a
great little tuning cap in them -complete with a reduction drive built in.
But my memory (which in recent times I have learnt to distrust) tells me the
BC 1206 had a pair of 25L6s in the af output stage - anyone care to comment?
