Hi John,

Not heard that one before. It is always possible that there was some batch
selection, but unaware of this during my time (July '85 to Dec '88).

Hi Rob --

I had heard mutterings that the 1150s that went into the 1210s weren't quite
as hand-picked as the ones that went into the 1250A standard, but this one
seems to be doing quite well.  (I just got a 1250A that on a quick test
performs at least as well as this 1210; I'll be doing a better test after
it's had a chance to stabilize for another week or two.)

It does appear that an awful lot of the 1210s went into various military
applications; one of the few references I found on-line was to one of the
PMEL (I think I got that acronym right) chat groups for the Air Force.

John
