[NJARC] 63/37 Solder at $8.50 a pound on ebay

[AMCMATADOR at aol.com]

Pardon me...
 
 
     I suppose not all of us , were fortunate (er  unfortunate) enough to 
hail from the home of nassau metals...  to grow  up in the shadows of those 
tall stacks, billowing that lead goodness! Or that  nice little stream, that 
flowed from the factory, to just under the Outerbridge  Crossing... ahh, all 
the wasted lead that entered the Aurthur Kill....  The  Japanese, would 
most likely pay thousands, just for a jar of that Nassau waste  water.......   
All you had to do was to dip your amplifier in that  stream... and OHHH the 
difference in sound!!! Folks would come from all over,  Just to dip those 
amplifiers......   And then, they HEARD the  light, I mean they HEARD the 
lead, I mean, oh hell, one whiff of that smoke, and  you would see or hear 
anything.......   And they say that it affected all  those nice folks on Staten 
Island... Nonononot me... We all know I'm perfectly n  n n n n normal.... , 
well sorta... Lead after all, is one of those FDA required  minerals... Aint 
it? 
Ok, now ive taken it a bit far! 
 
 
         Ahh the memories... 
 
                             Darren....

Hey.  That's completely bogus.  It is in fact an authentic Kester 
autograph,  likely last decade, but the roll is a Chinese repro distributed by n4fs 
after  he bought 20,000 on ebay. (sorry mike :) )
