Unfortunately, the audiophool community has got in on the action.  People 
are paying top ridiculous dollar for EL-34's now.  Last year at Dayton, 
someone bought an Apache transmitter at the flea market, paid the vendor's 
price for it on the spot, opened it and removed the EL-34 modulator tubes 
and left the rest of the transmitter at the vendor's booth.
