The 51SB-B was similar in function to the 51SB model but was made to work with the company's 5100-B transmitter. The newer version of the sideband adapter lacked an internal power supply and took plate and filament power from the 5100-B. References Brief technical description. Radio News, Oct 1955, p. 68.
