This spammer, Charles M. Nudo, Jr., of Drums, PA, says rules don't
apply to him and spams Usenet unrepentantly for his own eBay and
Audiogon trash and for businesses he cons into paying him to spam
their wares, mostly in off-topic newsgroups where such spam is not
wanted. Since having almost all his Google Groups sock puppet
accounts shut down for spamming, he's down to just two. All his
spam posts originate from frontier.net (formerly epix.net,) his home
ISP, and since he's dumb enough to use Google Groups, his IP is in
each header.

Such auction spam is a violation of both Google Groups' and
Frontier.net's Terms of Service. Per his ISP's Terms of Use, it's
also a violation to violate the rules of other sites, and the spammer
can be assessed a minimum $200 fine for such a violation. See
applicable rule statements at:

http://www.frontieronline.com/residential_aup

and...

http://groups.google.com/googlegroup..._service3.html

Fight back against Usenet spam by sending his spam
message, with headers, to:





You can also reach Frontier's abuse desk on:

866-474-7662

Be sure to include his IP in your complaint to Frontier, which is
216.222.225.253 for this spam load.

You're going to have to "reduce" a lot more than that, Noodles, to
sell that piece of garbage!

You should take the chap up on his £5 offer from the UK...it's the
only one you've gotten for that coarse sounding doorstop so far.

Hey Noodles! Get another $200 fine yet? LMAO!

You just can't resist being bitch slapped, can you, Noodles?

This was one of National's first attempts at copying the US market,
this time going after the Fisher 500/800s and Harman-Kardon receivers
that were popular at the time. This receiver was never marketed
directly in the US, but did show up in the UK, Australia, Canada and
many other markets, as "Japan, Inc." was floating "trial balloons" in
preparation for decimating the US consumer electronic industry...which
they later did.

The obvious plagiarism of various Fisher 500/800 features is quite
obvious, right down to the 7591/7868 (same tube, different basing)
self-biased outputs. The downfall of this particular unit is its
"doorbell transformer" output transformer...very loose coupling,
yielding lousy damping factor, a Japanese tube amplifier trademark.
Custom wound transformers in US makes at the time would outclass even
the best Japanese products, which is one reason why the Japanese
didn't bother competing seriously in the US market in the tube
days...metals and materials to build really good bifilar wound
transformers were simply out of their reach at the time. Once
transformers were eliminated with full solid state design, they became
real contenders, since they wisely skipped the
germanium/interstage-transformer-coupled era as well (when all that
lousy SS stuff appeared in the US in the '60s) and they waited for
their own silicon/direct coupled designs, which swept the market
easily in the early '70s.

Is this thing worth $1000? $500? $250? Nope...only to some nutty
collector, MAYBE. They weren't really great all around...all
performance aspects were "fair-to-good" at best. Besides lousy
damping ability, the were noted for easily saturated output
transformer cores. Pioneer's silicon receivers later would be market
mainstays because of their good, if not stellar, performance and good
reliability.
