Probably someone who is dumb enough to pay $300 for a pair of tubes isn't going to notice that <minor> discrepancy. Sheeseh. Richard <http://www.n7tgb.net/> www.n7tgb.net

I wonder why the seller claims to have Phillips tubes when the picture clearly shows Rogers tubes ? Rogers made tubes in Toronto for over 50 years. Ted Rogers Sr invented the "batteryless radio" when he developed tubes that would work with an AC filament. His Ham call was 9RB and his radio station later became CFRB...on the air to-day ...still...1010 Khz The "RB" part stands for "Rogers Batteryless" For the full story see the "Hammond Museum of radio" web site. www.hammondmuseumofradio.org 73 John VE3AMZ ----- Original Message ----- From: Jesse Lloyd <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Repeater-Builder@ <mailto:Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, September 03, 2007 6:14 PM Subject: [Norton AntiSpam] Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Oxygen Free and stranded audio cables.
