Re: Re: Bulk buy on Wintron flybacks

OK, here goes,

There's a local dude down here in Alabama and I believe his name is Andy
Warren. I haven't chatted with him in a few years, real nice guy, quite the
circuit stud.

His e-mail is andywarren@otelco.net

He's quite sharp on vector stuff and a while back he told me a story about
how he hacked in a WG x-former into an Ampliphone tube with just a few minor
circuit mods. He made it sound simple but I forget the details.

If someone wants to e-mail him and pick his brain please see what he has to
say on this topic please do so.

Cheers,

Jeff S.
