[GreenKeys] Interesting Item on Ebay

[Bruce Gentry]

AUDIOPHOOL ATTACK!!   Tektronix scopes used large numbers of tubes that 
AudioPhools go nuts over. They also like to grab the power transformers 
for building bizzare tube stereo amplifiers. Tektronix stuff is good, 
but in didn't know the transformers were wound with twice refined oxygen 
free wire, insulated with rice paper that had been meditated over by 
high monks, cryo treated and shipped in  rare wood thrice enchanted 
presentation cases with genuine 18 karat gold edged certificates!      I 
KNOW this stuff went on, I worked for a few years at an audio equipment 
boutique, and some of the tales and discussions  I overheard  were 
totally beyond belief.
