I think you will find it is all subsidised in china, how else are they going to take over the world? Seriously though you will be buying EXACTLY the same component (with exceptions of course) look on any item you have it will generally say 'made in China'. I do a fair amount of buying/selling

I dunno, I like it that your username is lucky. :D I have purchased some VERY dodgy power supplies from china on ebay. I mean firehazard dodgy. Now I only buy them from reputable sellers. I figure it will save me the house fire. Of course, there is always the classic fake chinese capacitors

Yes, what would you expect. Stuffing an honest 50V/6800uF inside a 50V/6800uF can, would even be more insane. Thinking about it, it could be worse, because the photo does not tell us what is inside the 35V/2200uF ;-) Further investigation is needed. But I agree, this photo is probably a

A classic one, though. The best hoax photographs are the sort where everyone deep down thinks that this sort of thing could really happen. :) -Adam W7QI On 1/6/2012 1:45 PM, Frank Bemelman wrote: Yes, what would you expect. Stuffing an honest 50V/6800uF inside a 50V/6800uF can, would even be

http://flic.kr/s/aHsjxSKBR6 I suspect that this was intended as a spare part as part of providing the customer with a complete line for spares, but still it is amusing to see a Westinghouse Nixie. Box is Canadian Westinghouse who did have a few practices that differ from US Westinghouse.

Charles, that is a really nice example of reprinting. But frankly, many tubes that we see are reprinted, for example I am not even sure if Siemens produced their tubes themselves. But still .. You can be SURE! if its Westinghouse. Yes, loved that phrase just like you :-) Jens -- You
