[R-390] Ballast Tube Thread

[Barry Hauser]

Hi Mahlon

Did I read correctly <sly>?  ..... did you mention ... THE 26Z5W !!!!!

3 amp slo-blo fuse?  You can get those at Radium Shack. Me,  I'm lookin' for
1/8th amp fast blow's, or is it 3/8ths, or 9/32nds?  Do they come in metric?

Sorry but the sanitarium is full up.  (I got the last bunk.)

You'll have to lurk and drool on your back porch.  Should be safe there, but
try not to sing until we can get a suitable practitioner over to you.  Just
don't eat any kielbasa, expecially not with that red cabbage or sauerkraut
stuff and the double order of pierogies all washed down with a liter of
pilsner.  (Methane is highly flammable.)

Barry ;-)
