[Milsurplus] Let stir up the hornets nest!

[Michael Bittner]

Mike, The APA-10 that you helped identify for me a few months back had been 
converted to 60 Hz in a fairly professional manner.  I now have it up and 
running with nice traces on 0.455 and 5.25 MHz.  The only ugly thing about 
it is the housing on the rear panel for the 60 Hz power transformer. 
Seriously, would you convert it back to 400 Hz???
