[Test-Equipment] Looking for A1H neonlamp forHP-410COn/Offswitch

[Larry WA9VRH]

Hi Barry,

I recently sent a 9 pin connector to a friend in Michigan in a small box and 
it cost a little over $2.00.

You add in paying someone to pack it and also the cost of billing and in the 
grand scheme of things that is probably
reasonable even though it seems outrageous.

So what does someone do??  Have somebody buy a group of them then spend a 
lot of time packing them and send the package along with driving to the post 
office?

I don't know the answer but maybe those of us that had a local parts 
distributor should have supported them more??
