<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Gentlemen, Let me apologize to Ed and the
entire group for recently loosing my cool. I shouldn't have done that and
I am sorry that I did. Ed, I am sorry. It is time to let this
particular thread drop.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Just a few hours before the post that started
this, I had decided to re-cap some of my Heath equipment. I got out the
Digi-key catalog and the manuals. Then I discovered that values for caps
in all my manuals were posted in microfarreds, but there was not even one
voltage present. I had no idea whether a 4.7 uf was 16, 25, 100, 160
or 250 volts! It ment that I was gonna have to tear down my system and
take the equipment completely apart, and take a dental mirror and flashlight and
hunt the voltages on the caps themselves! Fun, Fun, Fun. Even Funai
lists caps 2.2@50V.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Shortly after this blessed discovery, this
thread started. Ought from ought is ought, and tails from tadpoles are
frogs, and then Ed came in an told me he helped write these manuals and hit me
with the "why don't you tell us on what you base your opinion, Mitch"
line. So I proceded to tell Ed how the milk got in the coconut.
Well, I have absolutely nothing against Ed and he is probably a fine
gentleman, It was me who lost my cool. I took it that I was being scolded
like a schoolboy and that it was assumed that I had no idea what I was
doing. I work a "hard" bench and troubleshoot very complicated
circuits for a living, 8 to 10 hours a day. I depend on good quality
schematics and when a piece of equipment is lacking, it costs me time and
money.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I bought the Heath because I love the looks and the feel of
the stuff and intend to keep using my Heath just as long as I can keep it
running. I wish to apologize to all here for going balistic.
