[Milsurplus] FLASH: McMaster-Carr Selling BC-610-F's

[J. Forster]

The eBay search engine is badly brain damaged. Try looking for Klinger (a French
company that makes high precision motor driven stages). Somehow you have to get rid of
all M*A*S*H references. Not easy.

Also, radio is not the same as radios. It does not recognize singular and plural as
equals. Sigh.  Eventually, you just have to search on all permutations, which is a real
pain.
