    Subject: Long-life white LED replacements for #327 bulbs
    --> Commander-List message posted by: "Stan" <swperk@earthlink.net> Hi yet again, There has been a *significant* response to my offer of these LED lamps, to the extent that all that I originally had are now spoken for. I have located another source for them, but the guy does only bulk sales (minimum quantity of 50 per order), so I need to find out if there are any other members who are interested but haven't yet contacted me. I certainly don't mind holding onto a dozen, or even two dozen spares for the convenience of the TCFG members in the future (I would probably bring them to the fly-in in September), but I'd rather not buy another 50 just to keep around if there's really no further interest. Please let me know ASAP! Thanks, Stan -----Original Message----- From: Stan [mailto:swperk@earthlink.net] Subject: RE: Commander-List: Long-life white LED replacements for #327 bulbs Hi again, I had no idea that there would be so much interest in these LED lamps (although they *are* pretty amazing)! Anyway, I've already had enough people ask me to reserve some for them that I probably have very few left. Everyone who has already contacted me about these should confirm with me the exact number of lamps they each want, then I can get a tally and know how many will be left over. If there's enough additional interest I'll try to find more.
