/\  Paul - There used to be a 'ganef' on the 40m West Coast swapnet.  He 
sold a pair of "untested" 4-1000As at a cheap price.  When the buyer 
tested the tubes and discovered that they had low emission, he phoned the 
seller and requested a refund.  The seller would say something like:  
Sorry,  I had no way of testing the tubes - so send 'em back and I will 
send you a refund cheque.  The buyer would return the dud tubes.  The 
seller would then sell the tubes again on the swapnet.  After a couple of 
weeks, the buyer would phone the seller to report that he had not 
received said refund cheque.  The seller would say: 'the cheque is in the 
mail'.   - However, he did not send the refund cheque.  The same tubes 
were resold many times.   And that's how a ganef recycles dud tubes.
