Jeep,
Price on all of what's left of the BC-187 (including the four posts I would
have removed and sold you @ $3.00 each) is $30.00.
I have a few NE-47's left over and above what I've set back as my spares.
Price is $13.50 each. Reason for high price is that several people needed some
a couple of years ago and none of the regular suppliers carried them any more.
I finally tracked down a specialty lamp vendor on the Internet who thought
he could find some. Took him nearly two months and I had to buy all he found
in order to get the price I did get.
However, I was looking for some #49's yesterday (the dial lamp bulb) and a
local electronics dealer I use said he didn't stock any but could get them in
lots of ten. While I had him on the phone, I asked him to check on the NE-47
(B8A) and he said his supplier listed them. So I told him to order ten for me.
They were cheaper than what I paid before so if you want to hold up until I
confirm that I can actually get them, I'll drop the price some.
Likewise, on the BC-187, if you want it and can wait on getting the TM, hold
the MO and I'll get you a total as soon as I know the story on the NE-47's.
