Re: PT Question for el34 build

So Gil (or anyone), You say a Marshall PT is the way to go? That would have been my default, but I'm not working with much of a shop here and the less new holes I have to drill in the chassis, the better. Where does a guy go to get a marshall PT that'll drop into a Funk Chassis? The mounts measure 3...

PT Question for el34 build

I'm about to start in on a long awaited HRM build in a funk chassis. I'm reading elsewhere that the alter dumbles all used the a TF130 (fender twin) PT. Before I drop the dough, I want to be sure that a twin OT (4 6l6s) is acceptable for 4 EL34s.

Thanks

Re: Stimulus Plan???

I just helped my parents move out of their old house and got to clean out my Dad's old bomb shelter with him. In the book collection there were many hits from the Carter years published by the Delta Press with such titles as "Surviving the Collapse", "Defending your Retreat", and "101 Places to Hide...

They might not be able to fix it, but they sure can destroy it. Just look at FDR.

We need another Grover Cleveland or Calvin Coolidge.

More vetos than all other presidents combined, 4 hour naps every day. My kind of president.

Re: Size 10 shoe flying 4 o'clock...over

Arabs have long memories? If that guy had thrown a shoe at Saddam, he'd probably be half way through a wood chipper right now. Either that or he'd be watching the secret-police rape his wife and daughters in front of the rest of his family. Just something for you all to chew on. I think this serves ...

If you want to get laid, you have to go to the farmers market during the game once in a while. Gary True. But if you want to get screwed, all you have to do is believe that the government is going to step in and fix everything. We're still picking up the pieces from FDR and the Great Society. I'm w...

Re: To those who voted.

I think WWII changed a lot. A quick though exercise: Winter of 1937, Chamberlain dies of pneumonia and is replaced by the hawkish Churchill. In the US election of 1938, Roosevelt gains a democratic super-majority in congress. The two immediately conclude that Hitler is a threat and unilaterally deci...
