Yup, Palomar is one small step above Boomer Amps and Boomer's are just above junk.

I remember when the 1446 transistors were $15 a piece just 4 years ago. The Asian countries are bleeding this country dry.

I was just thinking the same thing while looking at an old price sheet the other day and the 2SC2879 was $20.00 a piece Its just sick whats happening and being pulled on this so called tough country or ours

1446's are £40 each in the uk, used to cost £16.95 a few years ago :sad:

It's a shame they are so pricey, they are excellent transistors for 11 meters.

I took a Boomer 4 pill mobile in a trade deal once. Input and output tuning issues galore. Auctioned it off on Ebay with a money back if not satisfied stipulation.......they liked it. :laugh:
