#122343 - .. and commercial sense
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I can't help thinking that a lot of Philips wasn't run with a lot of commercial sense. A little while ago they weren't making much money on their high voltage diodes, so they shut the plant. Everyone has had to go to other suppliers, and while we may whinge about a 400% price rise, we don't have much choice.

My conclusion is that they were selling their diodes much too cheaply!
