Ben,

What are you doing that you get to work on so many Decks each month?
Who is turning over all these units?

I have a ZM-3A/U for sale $50 plus shipping I've never used it and it looks 
almost new.  Pictures on request.

empty Maxwell House coffee can each month or two.

the flavor.

RF stages of ONLY R390A receivers; THEY MUST BE AGED IN AN R390A RECEIVER , NO 
EXCEPTIONS WHATSOEVER!! EVERYTHING ELSE IS TOTAL JUNK...  I am absolutely 
CERTAIN that BB's pulled from R390A's, especially ones with MANY LONG hours of 
use sound FAR, FAR, FAR better than NOS BB's. Besides, these are the only 
capacitors that GOD ALMIGHTY, himself, uses in his tube audio gear!!!

value of R390A aged BBOD's to $25 - $50 each OR HIGHER!!!!!!!!!! Imagine the 
coffee cans filling the rooms in our shops and houses!

Gibson Guitar OD's. I have seen these sell for $50 each because some guitar 
banging dude thought/thinks it must be the better because it's a FENDER or 
GIBSON OD!!! Those sellers are laughing all the way to the bank and back!!!

NOT..

that really gets the juices of the audio guys FLOWING. Then I gently wipe of the 
years of dust, cig smoke, battle ship greases and what have you, straighten the 
leads nice and pretty, take a few, very well lighted, pics with 30 or so at a 
time, post them on ePAY. Then some, sucker,,uh,, audio guy GLADLY sends me his 
doe for my freshly harvested High End Audio BB's. This gets funneled back into 
my coffee fund and life is GOOD TO THE VERY LAST DROP!!!

I'll have you come over for a nice hot cup of R390A capacitor powered JOE!! 
Forget the $8/cup Starbucks coffee junk, R390A CAPACITOR powered coffee is far 
better AND IT'S FREE!!!!!!!!!!

burning solder. Personally, I find this to be all kinds of funny but audio guys 
have their opinions and I am not here in this life to change their minds but 
rather to allow them to buy my coffee and do they ever. I got $170 for one batch 
of 30 BBOD's earlier this year; those went to Japan... I buy LOT's of Maxwell 
House and both my inventory of coffee and coffee funds are in EXCELLENT SHAPE!!!
