| New, Geostationary Orbit Demagnetization Service You almost had me, BUT- 26.67% interest, for a ten payment plan, is a bit excessive. Is there a 90 Day Satisfaction Policy? If so- do you accept Paypal? | |

All the early, grey shields, had screened, external date codes. I can attest to the(slight) brightness of the silver shielded Siemens. They’re not bad, just not CCa... | |
| Is it common for tubes to outweigh the cost of the amp or preamp? When I bought my grey shield/plate, early Sixties, Siemens, they were just over $250 a pair(average).
