[HAM] TAPER BULL

It absolutely never, ever happened.
Once I became acquainted with Alan Young, (RIP), I foubd out that most of
what I had been told by techs was wrong and showed total ignorance of what
was done at the factory.

in the top end because of complaint of too brilliant. Then they received
more complaints that it sounded too muffled.  So they put them back like
they were. I remember some that soundede muffled at that time. Also, when I
was a menber of MITA I had a couple of techs confirm that. Anybody know
anythging about this. I had one tech tell me that he retapered and then
they sounded as a B3 should.
