Not to date anything... but I also did a web search and got something about Big Brother.... ;-) That's ok.. my high school electronics teacher was well versed in tube powered electronics.. My optional project in that class was a tube based audio amplifier and he often talked about Muntz televisions although I really don't remember why?? I think he used to repair them. He was a fond collector of BMW Isetta 3 wheeled cars also. (No kidding) Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got Input? Slashdot Needs You.
