        Two questions:
        1)  Why the objection to the mixed conductors?

        2)  What is the story on TR6 overdrives.  They seem to be precious
        objects.  What was the ratio (ball park) of OD's to non OD 
        TR6's.  I have a '76 that has the overdrive eblem on the back but
        someone has nicked the original unit and replaced it with a non-OD.
