Ah, I see. Learn somethin' new every day! Of course, unlike you upper-crust
SWLs who have seen and used at least one of everything, I've never seen
anything that....new, which seems odd to be saying about old tube gear. I
figured it might be one of the sub-contractor deals like Northern Radio or
such. Clearly I need to get out more!

Now, if I can just get some dial time on that Leary you've got squirreled
away down there professor, I can die a happy man. (o:

BTW, George is looking for a -620 if you stumble onto a pallet load
somewhere. He wanted my -320 but I declined.
