No, it's a transformer, but it's for a tube amplifier. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

It may take him a little while to find it, his organization/inventory skills leave a little to be desired. What's it worth to you? ( he's gonna ask before he looks) |

Making his way to supernews, "cloaked" then typed : This is really funny....I guess the poor guy has never seen a vacuum tube or a paper filter cap. "Frank Gilliland" wrote in message ... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tegory=48 710 -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored _ What's funny is Frank's early week sobriety. Friday he claimed he didn't care about hammie radio at all and had no interest in such. Monday morning finds him desperately selecting personal arguments concerning hammie laws, and Tuesday finds him perusing used gear ads for his non-interests. And EVERY day finds you pursuing cocks to suck. |
