different

filter, change
: to make up for the different filter loss? For example,
the 1.8KHz filter

quite a difference.

: Couple more quick questions.
: 1 ) You said you are selling two Corsair II's. What is the
difference
: between the two - is one in better shape than the other?
Price
: difference?
: 2) Do you by chance have a 250 filter as well to sell?
: 3) Do you have a power supply or a spare Aipax T-aa 20A
circuit breaker
: available with it?
: Thanks for the help.
