[Hallicrafters] 5U4 Rectifier Tube

[amfone at sbcglobal.net]

 With all do respect,with all the illegal amps being sold commercially on 
Ebay stores and illegal CBcrap, with Ebay doing nothing , as well as the 
price gougers, selling junk for  gold prices , is Ebay any good. Better yet 
is the buyer really that stupid and cannot the FCC with all the illegal junk 
being sold in the open do anything??? I admit this has nothing to do with 
the 5U4 other than everything is getting out of hand.
