I hope you inquisitive solid state guys are ready for the prices on some 
of these puppies!! Our own Dave Sharpe inquired about some 3300 volt 1000 
amp GTO's (hockey pucks)and they run $1300.00 each in single quantities! 
 Pop one of these and you have a nice paper weigh and a conversation 
piece which will last for years.
