[AMPS] Brightest Bottles

[George T. Daughters]

Hi All,

There have been lots of responses to this, and I was always impressed 
by the BC610's 250th.

The nostalgia wave really washes over me when I remember several HB 
amps I have known with the  mercury-vapor rectifiers glowing 
brighter/dimmer and the power transformer groaning/humming with CW 
keying.  

Silicon diodes, metal/ceramic tetrodes, and tape-wound silicon steel 
transformers are better, no doubt, but less romantic!

73,

George T. Daughters, K6GT
