I know the store. The Radio Shack of industrial electronics.
Expensive,Unhelpful and Treated you like an idiot, right?... I digress

Well, >guess what!? They don't seem to be all that identical. Question

ECG parts are not that good. I've had to fix several things and have used
ECG parts and the general quality stinks. I think that their tolerances are
too large. I had an audio mixer that went out. replaced the parts With ECG
and it still gave me problems untill I replaced the parts with whatever else
(NTE sounds right...) Not a problem since.
