[R-390] R-390A AC FILTER

Sat, 08 Feb 2003 14:34:46 -0500

An important communique from the International Yeah-But Society and Drinking
Club:

Yeah but ... (all official communques start this way) ... THAT means your
R-390A will have the same power connector as a PEEEE CEEE.  Yechhhhh!

Soooo .... this could happen 50 years from now somewhere out there a brief
exchange among Al's heirs:

Heir #1:  "Oooo lookie, this ol' big gray radio has the same AC socket as
this ol' PC!"  ... Heir #2:  "Too bad, I thought the radio might have been
worth somethin'.  Throw 'em both in the dumpster."
Heir #1:  "Looky here -- another one of those rare Radio Shacks.  Hear tell
they used to be a big time outfit long ago, until they decided to sell
phones, and other brands of stuff and stopped carrying the measily parts
they used to carry."
Heir #2: "That's great!.  Put it up on ePlace with a reserve of $15,000 an'
a Buy It Now of $20,000 an' don't forget to call it @RARE@."
