Stewart,

Hi.

All the FTS tubes made for use in  the 5061A/B have the LF coil. Also the
tubes removed from FTS 4050 and 4060 etc have the same coil and can be
retrofit with adaptors into the 5061A/B.
The frequencies are the same.

I have a scratch built tester that performs the LF test and allows
monitoring and adjusting the tubes temperature and other parameters.
Can't see it in the PIX but it has a cradle on the top to hold the tube.

Cheers,

Corby
