The problem is not "confusion between manufacturers," but rather failure 
of the manufacturers of junk tools to follow long established 
international standards. There are MANY junk products of all sorts that 
are IMITATIONS of  the real thing, everything from tools to shoes to ham 
gear (ever seen one of those $90 Chinese talkies?).

Don is right -- a REAL #1 is all you need, That REAL #1 is all I've used 
to build two K3s, the KPA500, except, perhaps, to mount that big power 
XFMR in the KPA500 (don't remember what head is on it).
