W8LS larry snyder -bad deal

Post by k2zz »

I bought these tubes from Larry, after we got back from vacation I was going to install the tubes to my al-811h, when I opened the boxes with my "new" tubes, I discovered the tubes were not Penta tubes, and all were used. One of the tubes was even broken. Have not heard from Larry yet.
Started my case with Paypal.
