In a very limited way Alan. I was selling xfmrs for about 6 years but
kept a low profile and strictly word of mouth advertising. Never lost one
either!! My customer base was predominately the contest and EME
community and now getting ready to expand a bit.
I've invested in a superb local source that has no problems with onesy
type orders since their main business is prototypes for the RTE 128
/I-495 Silicon Valley East companies.
The xfmrs are just another step for me in becoming a viable source for
quality QRO products at affordable prices.
Variable caps, RF switches, chokes, private labeled tubes are to be
included.
I am always looking for new sources of parts, anywhere in the world.
