True in my case too. I also used them along with 88 mh toroidal
telephone loading coils to make Mark / Space filters for radio
teletype decoders --and the orange drops were very stable. (I
know, I'm dating myself in this day and age of software/sound
card RTTY decoders). :-)

As a side note, I'm still playing with RTTY and using a real
machine. A Lorenz Lo-15c. ;-)


Interesting...but I never had what I presume to be a European machine.

Started with a Model 15 KSR, then a Model 32 ASR and finally a Model 28
KSR -- with a home brew digital/electronic replacement for the paper
tape. Today it's all pixels.
