<vent>First off, why in the hell are you too big of a pussy to say "hell" without censoring it? Sorry for encroaching on your Christian beliefs</vent>
Secondly, I buy only QUALITY, ORIGINAL parts. The HOTs I bought are 100% legit, old stock!! And eBay is only a marketplace, you can't just say all parts sold there are junk. That's like saying all the produce at a supermarket is rotten. Maybe at yours it is

+1 , Especially sellers Dalbani, Semitronus and ceitron, pretty much all counterfeit stuff. I stick to the old RCA SK, GE and ECG lines - all of them came before the Chinese dumpex of fakes eBay is so littered with.

In the 90s, Dalbani was a go-to, but in the early 2000s, they suddenly had every video jungle chip out there, all remarked counterfeits.

38+ years in the biz, and I can see a fake a mile away.
