“"While past reliability is most often established through a showing of convictions which resulted from information supplied by the informer, e.g., Commonwealth v. Williams, 236 Pa.Super. 184 , 345 A.2d 267 (1975); Commonwealth v. Ambers, [ 225 Pa.Super. 381 , 310 A.2d 347 (1973)], there is no logical reason for mandating that all information lead to convictions before reliability is established."”
