Or worse, take to a hamfest and sell it to some trusting soul. I was looking
for a 3x3 a few years back at Shelby, and found a guy with one that was said
to be good. Well, while looking at some other tubes he had on his table,
noticed some of them had faint pencil markings that read--- BAD.---- his
dishwasher must'a needed a tuneup. Decided I didn't need to buy from him.
There's some real characters out there anymore.
