I've seen them here on a number of occasions - I've even ended up with 2 of them
in the junk box. One is used for cooling my 4-250s from the top, with individual
muffin fans blowing on the filament seals. At full voltage, they would do for a
small windtunnel!

Strange how you get these variations in the 'junk' appearing at
hamfests.......my US experience is of necessity limited, but I've found that
there seems to be a higher percentage of (used)  RF stuff in the US.
