I do thank Synchrodyne for that input!!

I know intimately every valve by its Australian number. To FIND a data book with all the cross references was and remains a REAL pain. Most databooks even the Philips/Mullard books didn't list valves that way. It was required to go to the back "short" section, FIND the equivalent, then reopen at the listed alternative and go from there. I thank god for American logic in this case.

It's just my take after 55 years, AT LEAST, of looking up alternatives.
