[R-390] Saturday's Line & Local Report

[rbethman]

List,

Craig,  I've been through the re-stuffing route.  I've also left the 
sockets open and mounted new Electrolytic Capacitors underneath below 
the PTO.

I've finally come to going to <www.hayseedhamfest.com>.

Specifically: <http://hayseedhamfest.com/cartview.html?id=12>

I got tired of the battle.  YMMV and this IS your receiver.

I found it to be a great product!  No, Tom does NOT compensate me one 
little bit.

I am simply a very satisfied customer.  I've obtained these, and a 
complete recap kit for an HRO-50-T1.

Tom and the family crew also make up kits for things on request. No 
*special* charge for this either.
