[BC] 8008s

[Clay Freinwald]

Remember the 8008-XE's.... They were really nice...Think Amperex
made them for a while...too bad they quit.   They glowed GREEN...

Too bad, a couple of generations of folks that have never seen an
AM rig with those rectifiers pulsing with modulation...it was a
great show and tell with the viewers convinced they were seeing
- power -.    Then there are those cold mornings with a HP rig
and the ka--pow of circuit breakers cause they were grumpy....
Learned to keep the filaments on from then on...

You can get anything you want!  I find that, even Ebay sales, are a good
source.
