Hello Carl,

I worked for RCA also. When and where did you work for them?

My ancient Bird 3KW load built for RCA still has its couple of gallons of
PCB's. I check the smell every few years and its not burn yet so it stays in
use as it has for over 30 years here.

My 1500W 2M amp uses a pair of GE Pyranol's in the PS and those were new
when I built it almost 30 years ago.

Let the knock knee nannies cry all they want.

Carl
