[Amps] Alpha 8410

[k7rdx]

Don`t be too sure Bob...Have you checked prices lately for "good" parts?When 
it was let out about PD quitting business,every availiable HV transformer 
suddenly became worth nearly twice as much ...Kind of reminds me of all the 
political stuff going on right now...If the almighty Media reports recession 
in America,all hell breaks loose...Life is a game..The smart players always 
seem to fool the masses...Jim,K7RDX..
