[Milsurplus] Advice: LS-50 German Tube - correction

[Bob Camp]

Hi

I have picked up the GU-50's and sockets on the e place fairly cheap  
in the past. At least the ones I got were NOS.

After looking at the German web sites I think I might just swap in  
the GU-50 socket. My German is non-existent once you get past  
ordering another beer. There might be something in the text that  
explains why thats a real bad idea.
