Hi Roger,
I live near one of 833A's manufacturer.only 1km haha.
Now, the 833A manufacturer's list price is CNY 600 orso, ( no more than $100)
But if quantity what you want is big, I think it should be lower
there are two 833A's manufzcturer, the factury nearby is the best.
But few people would like to do this bussiness, because the 833A's weak
filament, very easy to damage.
73!Hsu
