[AMPS] re: SB-200 to 6m using 4CX250B

[Norman Hockler]

Hi All.....IMHO a better choice for conversion of the SB-200 to 6 is the 
3CX800.  No screen voltage needed,  HV ok for the tube.
socket will mount in old tube hole...or mount on main chassis.  Fill 
transformer is small.
Am in the process of converting one now.  de Norm  N8RGR
