[Swan] M2057 tubes in 700CX

[David Shipley]

I have aquired a 700CX that has a pair of 8950s installed. I have tested the 
final tubes and they test good. I have not tried to transmit with them 
because some of the smaller tubes are bad. With the rig I received a box of 
various tubes used for finals including a pair of M2057 tubes. I haven't 
tested them yet and I assume that since they replace the 8950's that I would 
test them the same. My question is: Is it worth the trouble for the extra 
output from the M2057s? Assuming they're good of course!
