Well over at the "other thread," I left you an open invitation for a free tube check up on the EL84's and I would even pay the return postage. I know, I know, a couple of bucks is a big thing nowadays.
I also left the door open if you are interested in a nice low price on a pair of the 1967 Russian EL84's. Let me know.
Remember, besides trying to get cabinets sold, I do about ten tube amps a week. Some of these tubes will find quick homes if you know what I mean. Most of the stuff I do is just cleanings and tube upgrades and bias. I rarely get a burned up mess and when I do, I let them know whether I will be able to fix it or not. I actually did tube amps in the military. Then I got back into tube hi fi. Then working on hi fi amps and such. Then it bled over to guitar amps and there you have it. I do have an adequate amount of test equipment, so I can troubleshoot more serious damage. It's just that there is quicker money doing cleanings and tube upgrades and biasing. I have some customers who drive over 50 miles to get me to tweak their amps. I also have nine cabinets to plug into, including two of my VersaCabs. Right now I am trying to get Ampeg interested in making the VersaCab. It's been 30 days and I haven't heard back from them as of yet. I'm working with Eminence speakers on my V123 speaker. They are finally getting to the next phase of testing. They will be my exclusive speaker for any of my cabinets. With all that is going on, the Ampeg deal is the most important to me. Being single gives me a lot more time to do things I need to do. Anyways, I'm always happy to help you out anyway that I can.
