I only have one piece of Brit electronic gear, sad to say...But the one I have is a doozie- a RACAL RA 17, which was Britain's answer to the Collins R-390A military shortwave boatanchor. It has 20+ tubes, & uses the Barlow-Wadley loop tuning scheme, which was a way of cancelling the drift all tooob boatanchors have. It is very quiet, & the tuning scheme takes a little getting used to, but once you do, it works great. RACAL sold a few on this side of the pond, & they used std American tubes, but there are direct replacements for the Brit-spec tubes, in any case.
