[AMPS] 3CX800A7

[Merit]

   Just to clarify things a bit from RF Parts' perspective---  
Svetlana doesn't seem to be making many of the 3CX800A7 tubes, 
or at least not sending them to us.  We have had a standing 
order for 100 pcs for 18 months.  Total deliveries to date: 
about 40.  Because of slow delivery, we sell a lot more Eimac.  
   I can't give much input on how well they are working out 
in the field.  However, of the 40 we have sold, I can' remember
any coming back for any reason.
   As far as price, the September 1 Svetlana price sheet shows $335.00.
RF Parts' current price is a bit less.  I'm not sure how the $355 
number got out.  It may have been a misquote at this end.  Sorry.
Probably won't see much in the way of discounting for a while 
due to the limited supply and Svetlana's distributor cost structure.

Regards,

Merit  W6NQ  (W6NLO)
