"Small claims courts decisions are decided by a Judge and and they have differing opinions on degrees of who to believe or not." You are correct in that statement Larry. When talking to a small claims court judge here in Harris County, Texas here are some of the things judges look for in making a de...

Actually it cost me very little money to get the ball rolling, less then $80.00 and no lawyer. I received that money back from UPS I put out when they settled the claim with me. Small claims court is very user friendly for most folks IF they put in the time and effort in gaining the knowledge of how...

"FedEx is quite clear about what they will and will not be responsible for if damaged while shipping, i.e. what you risk on your own if you ship and it is damaged. Yours is an interesting story but I don't see how it is related to this issue. " The common thread in both stories is that when FedEX kn...

Just because UPS/FedEX has something written in one of their user's guide doesn't make it legal in the eyes of the law. When FedEx/UPS ships your box in exchange for money they have entered a legal contract with you. All shipping companies must use reasonable care when they ship your package under t...

When talking to Penta it seems they have a run of 3CX800A7s every couple of months. Their run consists of about 400 tubes made up for that run. Penta w...

I have to go a little father then what WA5DTY mentioned. The PTOs are a very hard if not close to impossible to re-calibrate once broken or taken apart incorrectly. Collins at the factory had a special jig setup just to calibrate the PTOs. From what I remember in a conversation from a very astute Co...

I just got a couple Alpha 87As with no tubes in the amps. I have been looking for some 3CX800A7s and ran across some Penta tubes. Seems like Svetlana doesn't produce tubes anymore and Eimacs are running about $650.00 a piece. Has anybody here on the board used Penta tubes in their amps? I have never...
