[Amps] PCB - Pole Pegs

[AA6DX - Mark]

Steve's right ... IMHO PCB junque warnings rate right up there with Gore's 
"Global Warming".. and cellphone towers are going to kill ya --
I have used many pole pegs, which I took out of their oil bath steel 
canisters,  washed with solvent and allowed to dry,  No center tap, so 
bridge rectifying, etc.....Can only remember one letting the brown smoke 
out!
Brings back memories of the 4-1000A days!  Mark      AA6DX
