Message-ID: <jmfFp.11456$wz.10497@en-nntp-08.dc1.easynews.com>
Hello all,
I am a bit stumped with the age of the equipment and the serious lack of any
docs. Like it zero docs.
All I have is the following:
ITT Terryphone C23047 0100 Amplifier.
Connected to multiple speakers that are labeled D31201-0500 VRC8 with a
multi-tap Txfmr L50411-0010.
What I have determined is that the Amp is a 100 Watt unit.
What I can't find is this at 25v 70v or 100volt.
The only reason I think it is a 100 Watt unit is the 0100 in the part
number. However it could mean 100 volt system.
Can anyone shed some light on this. It is not for repair of the system that
is rapidly going away, rather it is to determine the size and voltages of a
new Amplifier that is to be installed.
I hate shooting in the dark. With the amount of dark I have right now any
glimmer of light would be a blessing.
Please respond.
TIA
Les

Well, who knows. These are pretty undesirable customers for a normal
bank, illegal products with a lot of chargebacks, so finding other
banks might be a challenge. And if the powers that be can set a
precedent that Visa and MC disconnect banks who do a lot of that kind
of business, it'll be easier to disconnect other banks [if] the crooks
move there.
R's,
John

Did you read [the] rest of the article?
"If the financial companies like those found in the study would follow
suit, then spammers would have to find new banks, and the cost of
switching would be high."
"The defenders can, in principle, identify which banks the scammers are
using far faster than they can get new banks", Dr. Savage said, "and for
basically zero cost."
