The Amp Garage

Well, the tubes ARE old stock. And they're new to YOU.

Wow, now I can sell off my duds under a new acronym...NTYOS!

Yep, I've used a plain old hacksaw for short cuts with success. I haven't tried long cuts but I definitely will now if I brake a blade!

A circular tablesaw would be sweet but I use a benchtop bandsaw. Works great for me but blade choice is critical if you wanna cut more than a couple boards. That old school red board with glass shards/swirls is BRUTAL on blades and I've wasted many off-the-shelf blades from Home Depot cutting that s...

I like stranded teflon. Good memory and holds up to heat well.

Got it! Thanks for the link.

Shucks, thanks for the greets, fellers! Yeah, it's been a while since I've wet my iron's tip. Haven't soldered much either. :/ Regardless, I'm finally getting around to setting up a new work area.

Anybody have a copy? I did but now I can't find the file and don't remember its source. I believe it has a switchable bias arrangement.

Please and thanks!

Silly question, but does the board have any obvious heat/burn spots??

Is the amp actually suffering from issues related to heat? Cab covering doing funny stuff? Trannys dripping varnish? That's a pretty big vent on the back panel and I personally wouldn't worry about it but you could just ditch the back panel in favor of a big old piece of ventilated metal. 50W smallb...

Is this for a file you've saved on your computer?

I'm around, but have been in and out of town. My online and regular personal cell activity has been extremely limited. I'll try to get hold of you tomorrow.
