[R-390] Ballast Tube Thread

[Llgpt at aol.com]

Oh for the good old days when this thread would trigger an onslaught of 
e-mails that would jam any server.

It appears that the deadest horse that has ever been beat has once again been 
revived for all the new subscribers and those that have forgotten this 
dreaded thread.

But, gone are the posters of the past, the beehive kickers, the nay sayers 
and witches who use solid state devices in place of the beloved 3TF7 which is 
now approaching record prices.

Everyone who has replaced this ballast tube can still hear that heterodyne 
from Pitcairn Island or the flea farting in Fiji, but the legends live on.

Where has everyone gone to? Hopefully, not the great listening post in the 
sky............
