That is literally adding insult to injury.

Well, my reference was from the movie Amadeus, where Mozart was complaining about everyone saying all operas must be in Italian. Then again, growing up and playing classical trumpet, some of my favorite composers include Albinoni, Corelli, Torelli, Verdi and Vivalidi. Then there's Bach, Fasch, Handel, Hummel, Mozart, Purcell, Telemann and of course, the Haydn brothers. Such great music... I just don't play much anymore

Very true... more fiction than fact, but a great movie overall. Most was filmed in Prague as well, not Vienna (I've been to both cities many times). But yes, much Italian influence overall.

And yes, no banana for me... I need to start picking up the horns again... especially with such a nice collection of them... Piccolo trumpet, E-flat/D tuning bell trumpet, standard B-flat and a couple older cornets as well. The last two weddings I played at ended in divorce (both relatives as well... a brother and a niece). Possible message not to play anymore??

Over time, the trumpets go to my younger daughter, the guitars go to my older daughter and the piano goes to my son.

Here is an interesting article detailing an 'alleged' electronic parts-related scam. More than $300,000 defrauded, based on those victims who came forward and documented the purchases. Small businesses desperate to get parts were targeted...

Includes a list of fake web sites, bank account numbers, and aliases used.

To protect this site, I strongly suggest you write "allegedly by an individual..." and perhaps preferably refrain from naming. The site you link says it itself.

Respectfully, I call bullshit on that one, BigEd.

I did not see any statement recommending that anyone use specific wording at http://www.erai.com. The individual (whose name I will not repeat here out of respect for 6502.org), is named directly by the site, and no 'alleged' wording is provided, because they consider it factual, based on testimonies of dozens of victims over 3 years. The name is likely to be an alias anyway.

We do live in a litigious society, but it's hardly worth hiding in the shadows while scam artists run unchecked. The Internet was built to let us communicate and organize to avoid these exact kinds of problems.

Just to be clear, do you set policies or have any official affiliation with 6502.org? I am a bit tired of being reprimanded here, all good intentions aside.

Thanks, enso, for following good practice and editing your post accordingly.

Hi folks, I have some tubes of genuine MOS ic's that have been stored away since the 1980's. Would anyone be interested in MPS6540's, MOS6525's, MOS6532's & MOS6522's ?

There are others but I haven't had time to sort through them yet. If nobody is interested they will have to be binned. Which I hate doing.

I am in the UK.

Cheers - Chris.

Sounds great - please don't bin them, there are sure to be takers.
