A very key point which you barely touched upon Herb.  Who determined
"good" anyway, you ; the engineers or the purchasing department?

K2AW has no assemblies Herb....you totally missed the point.  Those are
nothing but Taiwan, etc made microwave oven diodes and I am truly sorry
to see that you believe in such advertising that says otherwise.  P.T.
Barnum was right after all.

I wont even comment on that one...just another example of ancient
superstition.

Comments???
