€  Known problems:
1.  5.9v on 4.75v.min - 5.25v.max heater.
2.  T/R relay hotswitches with modern transceivers.
3.  No step-start to prevent eventual spot-welding the ON/OFF sw. 
contacts.
4.  Marginal VHF-stability -- i.e., tends to have parasites. (needs lower 
Q VHF suppressor)
5.  Does not have a kick-butt anode supply.  
6.  Larger diameter conductors needed in tank L for high bands.
