Hi, Tony...

DS>   You likely can't find those anymore...the same with crystals. I saw

V@> I believe there's still one major crystal manufacturer here, at least
V@> last I heard they were going strong, and you could still custom order
V@> crystals for older gear.

 Interesting. It's amazing how many "boat anchor" and "tube type" old rigs
you still run into at hamfests.

V@> As for record stylii, I'm sure they are obtainable, as LPs have made a
V@> mini comeback and there's newer turntables (complete with USB and
V@> Bluetooth!) on the market.

 Very Interesting (I'm starting to sound like Arte Johnson from Rowan And
Martin's "Laugh In"...that shows my age <G>). I did see a deal in one of
the catalogs recently about a turntable. I have a bunch of old LP's at my
Mom's place.

... Does "MNP-5" mean "Modem needs a 5 topping pizza"??
