I don't know why everybody doesn't do this with every brand of cb amp. There's no reason why you couldn't. I want somebody to knock off Lafayette

I wish that they would show the inside of the tube amps and which tubes they're using.

Gonna be like the name "Palomar". For years it was up for grabs by anyone who wanted to use it. Especially if you remained anonymous after selling your stuff. If there's no address on the back panel for the FCC to come see you, a summons for a civil tradename suit won't be any more successful. A fella down the state buys my power supply boards to build 4CX250 linears he calls "Pride", but those may or may not come from him. I should see if I have any pics of his work. Could reveal a family resemblance. Or not.

Can't resist wondering if I should ask. When someone asks me about a Pride amplifier, is it original?
Or extra crispy?

I don't know much about him. We spoke on the phone once and he was very nice. I decided not to make a purchase and bought parts instead from rfjunk.com
I hope he ultimately benefits the hobby.
