[Vintage-Audio] Tube PIONEER Drawing or service infoneeded..

Mon Jun 2 21:40:00 2003

Duane.  I never thought of that problem with the blind being able to read my
posts.  I have used triple dot journalism for years.  I did not know it was
difficult for some.  I was using it because that is the way I speak, pausing
between items to emphasize them.   Thank you very much for the heads up.
Mark.
