[NJARC] BC-348Q Power Questions(2 of them)

[john ruccolo]

Hi Jim,

On behalf oof the NJARC, I want to thank you for your
donation of twist-lock capacitors. Hopefully, they can
help some of our restorers -- we do get requests for
those from time to time.

BTW, while I didn't detect any Southern twang while
talking to you, I definitely detected some with Ruth.
Tisk, tisk -- you'll have to talk to her about that. 

;-)

Thanks again,

John
