[Milsurplus] [MRCA] Working "Cold War " relics, AN/ARC-58 and more!

[John Vendely]

Hi Ray,

The T-195 used the 4X150D in both PA and modulator.  I really don't know 
about present availability of the 4CX250FG.  But since there's still a 
fair number of 618T variants flying around out there, I wouldn't be too 
surprised if the toob were still available--for a price.  The 4CX350F is 
fairly plentiful as surplus, and might possibly be useable in the 618T 
with minor mods such as changing PA grid bias...

73,

John K9WT

They show up NOS on EBay but how long ago were they manufactured? Think the same tube may be in the T-195 so it’s a good question for that too.
