RE: "Tube Problems" That Aren't Tube Problems

In response to 1973shovel above: The two letters "FL" were added to the tube designation to signify "Flying Leads". These leads would be soldered and there would be no standard "socket".

I had a friend who soldered the leads for the Westinghouse fire control system on the Phantom F-4. They were even used in some of the F-15's fire control systems.
