WOW!! Well.......I'm not saying that this is not true THIS TIME, but..... I visited Ladd Electronics in 1984 one afternoon. He had a BUNCH of old tube ham gear. I walked out of there with my wallet empty and enough stuff to fill up my Dodge Caravan! However, I did have to listen to his diatribe about how he was going out of businees "next month". Remember this was in 1984. For the last TWENTY ONE YEARS whenever I have visited Frank he always going out of business "NEXT MONTH" EVERY time....I would say I have been there a dozen or so times in the last 21 years, and every single time he bitterly told me how he was going out of business "next month". Once he even had pictures of where he was going to stash his inventory, because no one was interested in buying him out. This was in the mid nineties and again when I visited Frank in 2000, he was going out of business "next month". BTW, I'm not the only one who has experienced this. Frank has a reputation locally for going out of business "next month". I'm not saying that THIS TIME it's not true, but as they say, "I've heard this before". Maybe this time it's for real? 73 de Dan -- WAØJRD .. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: drakelist@www.zerobeat.net Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
