one in my database. I decided to call him out. The arsehole had swapped

the serial numbers over on two identical amps. It's only time I've ever

seen it happen, but at least the system saved me.



** Any ****wit manufacturer who sells items packed as pairs with the SAME serial numbers attached - has just saved all such arseholes the trouble of doing a tedious label swapping job.

In fact, they have made it so easy it will happen by simple mistake.


**Agreed. It is daft.
