LOL pretty reliable and you repair that many?


I repaired over 10,000 CATV converters for United Video's Cincinnati,
Ohio system in the early '80s, along with commercial C-band microwave
receivers and other headend equipment for over a dozen CATV systems in a
four year period. I processed the converters 100 at a time, unless the
