Default ebay charlatan

Oh my God!

Check out this guy:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=020

Now, I'm a fan of the Cadet III too, but not at this price!

Even better is his ad for 'military spec' interconnects!

Get the bit about 'intestinal fortitude'! You have to admire his liberal use of the Emperor's clothes manipulation tactic.

Needless to say I am amused.

Check out his "custom stainless steel shield ". It looks like a bit of tin-plate folded by hand.

Little does he know garden variety RG59 as used for your television antenna has lower capacitance than RG400 (but it isn't silver)
