Herb: It might be interesting to ask ten or so owners how many times
their amplifier was returned for service during the warranty period.

from Alpha amplifiers. One of the gold-sputtered tubes shown in
"Parasitics Revisited" {9/90 *QST*} was removed from an Alpha.

There's an article about the subject in the January, 1994 issue of *QST*.
