[BC] Freeland rtebuilds

[Milton R. Holladay Jr.]

I put one in a BTF-20  ~6 months ago. It tuned up better than any tube I'd 
seen in a long time ( Not a hog for screen current like brand E.) and is 
pumping 25kw, untouched.  Have had short life on brand E in recent years. 
Also cheaper--no, less expensive than brand E at that time.
I wouldn't hesitate to try one. Call the guy at Freeland and discuss it (he 
doesn't bite)..........

P. S.: the best tube I ever had in an 816/817 27.5kw box was an EEV, which, 
BTTW, would bump 30 kw. Like everything really good, they stopped making 
them.
