[AMPS] Amperex and Penta Labs

[W6NQ]

As I recall, the original Penta Laboratories closed their
doors many years before the current company was
established (c. 1990)..... I remember Steve Sanett
as being the principal owner of Aero Electronics,
a surplus tube dealer in L.A., which went t.u. about the
same time Sanett bought the Penta Laboratories NAME.
No other connection between the old Penta (Santa Clara, CA)
and the new Penta (Chatsworth, CA).

> Ameritron tried buying sample 3-500Z's from a company named 
> Penta labs, and the plate caps were glued on with rubber cement.

> This may or may not be the same Penta.
