Oh, very droll!  Mind you, it took me quite a while to accept FBT (flyback
transformer) in place of LOPTX (line output transformer), which was much
easier to say when pronounced "lopty".  Bloody nips - we're
speaking Japanese and we don't even know it half the time.

RM> Does this mean we can adjust it to fool the tax dept???

Dunno, but I'd sure like to adjust one so it gave all ATO inspectors a damn
good 30KV jolt up the arse.  After all, they've been screwing us for
years...

Regards, Bill
