[Milsurplus] General Electric TAJ-19

[Richard]

Another story about unrealistic expectations.  Some years ago I bought 
some 800-1 inverters from a local business.  The original owner bought 
the surplus, died, and his boys inherited the business.  They were 
dumber than dumb, and would have been sitting on the curb pitching 
pennies absent their inheritance.  Anyway, they thought this stuff was 
golden.  The guy who was really running the business said come early 
before the owners get here because they're going to say, "It's worth a 
1000 bux," and throw you out.  I bought several and never looked back.
