Why do you say 'That'll teach me'??

Disappointment at the failure, and sick realization that I couldn't really
send it back.
Darned thing sat there looking accusingly at me for months every time I went
into the "office".

Now the offers of help from a couple of the board members has improved my
outlook.


Like you could have bought a Border Patrol 300B amp (say) for anything
upwards of 4K:

No, but I could have bought a used Sugden Class A amp, for example?


...but chose the Chinaman for what - less than 400 quid instead? (You get
what you pay for in this life!! :-)

Anyway, I see you've had a couple of kind offers of help already - expect
to pay for some parts, needless to say...


Yes!
