[SCCC] A Piece of History Listed on eBay

[Jim Neiger]

And I was there when Don received and set-up the three 77's.  They were all 
with single tubes.   The amps had some issues when Don's rhombic feed-lines 
shorted, so they then went back to ETO for some special micro-processor 
controls, based upon VSWR, and I believe these designs then became the basis 
for the Alpha 87's.

 I thought all 3 amps were picked-up by our friends Bob and Terry after 
Don's passing in 1985;  but not sure where they are today.
