Double posts
It might have something to do with the "Preview" button. I think after previewing, then hitting "Post" it comes up twice. Just something to check out.

Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck
Oldhvymec, I don't think there is 1 group you left out to offend. Happy New Year to you too. :-)

Fancy Fuse for Regenerator?
Thank you all. I will consider this purchase some more. I'm definately not getting one right away. Maybe if they go on sale.  
Hartley speakers--anyone heard/heard of?
