Well... I have them.  I thought no point in buying them if I already have
them  Then I looked on Ebay and the asking price for the driver boards they
are on (which I won't be using) are several hundred dollars each used.  I
suspect I could list the boards I am pulling with a starting bid of a dollar
and more than make back enough to buy new rectifiers, and new caps, and
maybe even a couple of the driver boards I do plan to use.  LOL.
