Some of us former techs got started on the bench in the late 70s when many of the tube Gurus were getting out of this busuiness, some bitter and treating it as a bad dream and not recalling much.

Electronic Technician/Dealer magazine was helpful to take us back to the design stage, allowing such improvements. It became very important with keeping the HV in check with Solid State Sweep.

Just imagine the pressure to get these designs into showrooms, before all the "burn-in" testing is done.

Thanks Old Coot!
