RE: Re: Ampl. Red HVU, how many still work?

My luck has been about 1 in 5 work.

If you're really taking a poll...

I have an original working red HVT, but it's no longer in service, but I
don't use it anymore since switching over to Wintron's.

I have owned two others, neither of which worked when I got ahold of
them,
and neither had signs of any external physical damage.
