Anyone ever hear of a Brush 717 element? Curious to know how one would compare to an Astatic 151 or 101 crystal.

They're outstanding elements. But they're extremely fragile, more so than even a 151 or 101. For every 20 that work at all (and most are stone cold dead) there is one that has full output left.

WARNING: You can ruin the element if you have a really airtight cup - you can simply hyperextend the diaphragm by sucking too hard, and its all over. If you get one, be gentle with it.
