Well, Cecil, blw and others.
The last I checked this was a free country (Thank GOD and all of the 
ones that have given their lives to maintain this status) the right to 
offer for sale at a price to get a fair return on the investment.
Matt and I bought these tubes due to the fact that there is a demand 
from owners of these classic radios that are willing to pay to maintain 
them without being typical cheapo hams P & Moaning because you did not 
give it to them for .00001 on the dollar.

Matt and I have plenty of Very satisfied customers for the radios that 
we restore and all of the parts that I have made that are no longer 
available. We are happy for the support from in my case over 1000 hams 
from all over the world.

Yes we if lucky make a small percentage of profit from the radios and parts.
When was the last time you went out and acquired or made dies, silk 
screen films and screens on the come, made parts and oh yes when did you 
put up $2000.00 up front for needed tubes and then check them out, even 
though they are NIBOS then deal with selling them, waiting for the 
money, packing, address them, doing the customs forms, going to the post 
office and standing in line this past week for me to mail 20 of the 
tubes over 3 hours a total of 3 trips.

So get off of your couch potato butt and do something to benefit the 
continued long life of all of these fine radios.

To all of our valued and future happy customers We wish you Happy 
Holidays and to all of the el cheapo, P--ing and moaning whiners, all I 
can say is BAH HUMBUG to you and Happy Holidays to your XYL and rugrats 
as they must live in cheap hell.
