I got the /73 reference from a post of Pete's last year:

http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2015-February/002612.html

... but I' m guessing he just meant that the slower ones work at the same 
speed as a true /73?

Unfortunately there aren't any markings on the crystal on the -AB board 
(well, there probably are, but on the underside and it would have to be 
desoldered) so I don't know if it's a 15MHz or 18MHz part.
