Mr Jones:
W4TH posted clearly what he was interested in doing and it seems quite
reasonable to me and I believe most others based upon E-Mail I have
received since your post.
If you didn't want to take him up on it, that is your business.
However your uncalled for comment about how he should do things was
not necessary. Nice guys apologize for transgressions of this nature.
I have two amplifiers already and don't need to modify either one so
that's why I didn't take him up on his offer for your information.
Actually neither of my amps are the types and kind he was talking
about anyway.
In direct response to your other question concerning why he doesn't
just tell folks who his source is I offer this response. Just this
week I personally E-Mailed him asking questions about the 3-500ZG
tubes he had mentioned here on the AMPS reflector and more
specifically who made them and what was their country of origin.
Guess what? W4TH promptly responded and informed me via E-Mail and
I'm sure he would tell you the same thing about any tubes he sells.
Based upon info he supplied, I purchased two from him and have
installed them in a Henry 3K-A and they work beautifully and a heck of
a lot better than the last 4 Eimac 3-400ZG's I purchased which shorted
internally quickly after I purchased and installed them in amplifier.
Based on this first time business deal I had with W4TH he was a great
dealer to do business with. I'm not related to him, don't know him
and to the best of my knowledge have never seen him before but in my
first business dealings with him he was an excellent guy whom I'll
continue to do business with.
Check out his website and learn first hand how he operates instead of
suggesting how he should run his business.
73,
Leon W5NA
