In Reply to: National 5ar4 ,,, is it a Bendix? posted by DAK on October 13, 2015 at 13:57:26:
I have a National branded 5AR4 that's really a Russian 5Z4GT or similar. Total POS in every significant respect as a 5AR4. There have been reports of National (Richardson) relabeling a Bendix 6106 as a 5AR4. If true, another travesty. As good as the 6106 might be, it's really a "special" 5Y3 and will be stressed far beyond ratings if used as a 5AR4. A pic would be helpful with ID.
