[AMRadio] Solid State 575 mercury vaporRectifierReplacementsneeded

[Nigel Holmes]

Whether it's a good price or not depends on the manufacturer.

If they're from Machlett, NEC, Toshiba, RCA or some GE product then probably very good buys. If they're labelled Trigon (often in a lime green & brown box) then likely to be total rubbish.
