ordered some carbon film, hopefully they will work, would have loved to used some original carbon comps. but only person that seems to have any wants $4 a piece for them and I ain't paying that.

Sorry, I just saw this. I think I can help you out, which way did you come in?

How many do you need.

Pisser. I just went out and looked and that's one of the few we are out of. Sorry. Actually, if you ordered the 2 watt flameproof, it is a much better device, although I understand you're wanting to try to keep the amp aesthetically the same. We have it in just about every other configuration, but in that application, as I'm sure you know, wirewound won't do.

Hope I didn't get your hopes up too high. So sorry please.

not much of a problem on 440, unlike the 2m stupid band.
