Good question! Does anyone know of ANYTHING else that used an AX9909? I wonder if Amperex built them for some military project that fell through and the whole lot got sold to WRL for a song? Who else would want a tube that doesn't fit anything? Kent/KA5MIR > Why Leo Myerson's crew decided on

If the posted relay scheme is correct for your Gates, I believe both relays K5 and K6 are the old Amperite OD (On delay) type time delay relays. Probably the same type relay with different time delays. K5 is in the low voltage power supply and K6 in the high voltage circuit. More safety prec
