[Boatanchors] GE #44 Lamp Needed

[Tony]

Lee,
Unfortunately "they live amongst us".  A couple of years ago I offered on 
FREEBAY an extremely nice Cardwell variable capacitor (probably cost mucho 
bucks when it was new).  A guy (being nice here) said he would love to have 
it and I was happy to give it to him for postage costs (about $12 bucks or 
so).  I even thought, I'll really give him a pleasant surprise and sent it 
USPS Priority (GA to CA).  He acknowledged receiving it and appeared to be 
extremely delighted.  I never got the postage costs and he never responded 
to subsequent emails regarding same.  It ticked me off but I got over it and 
have given away quite a bit of stuff, here and there with much better 
results, hi.
Merry Christmas to All.  (Remember, 'tis the season)
