Get out of here right?

Some paper work to be done on my end but HEY!

    I have already seen paper work and I would probably have a 1-10 discount of 5% and 10+ of 10% for Polkies... (on just parts)

    I have some personal things I have to look into before this becomes OFFICIAL but as of right now this is going to happen I believe...

    This will most likely encompass other brands such as Solen and a few other major parts...

    That's great Trey. Maybe you can convince them to start making the proper values for SDA's.

    If I were to guess, ESA's in 2.3TL values.

    I checked out the schematics for the 2.3tl - the parts are readily available within like 3%, am I missing one?

    The only one more than 5% would be the 15 versus a 16

    Outstanding Trey! Post the parts/values you'll be handling as a dealer when it becomes official.

    BTW, Klaus modded my Stratos Stereo Plus into dual mono with tons of upgrades (boards, transformers, caps, resistors, RCA jacks etc.) Have about 80 hours on it so far - sounding very sweet!

    ESA series (spectacular) - Mills most likely not, but working on resistors... :)

    Its a tough market, but a cost effective easy to flip and ship bookies would be cool. Something to play with which wouldn't bury you. VR3 is a cool branding name.

    Will we be able to buy parts from you directly or is your parts selection for the mods you do only? I am in the market for some 250v Clarity ESA's. I'd just as soon buy them from someone I know rather than a place like Parts Connexion.
