Here's a cool, but odd, wee Australian chap. Film related, part of an add on system to get sound off modern films.

Little cab will get a 5f1ish amp. The little box with handle is an amp but I think I'll keep that for another project.

Never seen this before! Blues Junior with a shorted EL84: massive current draw burnt the trace right off the PCB and melted the associated ribbon cable. It’s a mess but shouldn’t be too hard to set right.

Its the shame of having EL84s in a Fender amp that caused it to commit suicide like that :rofl:

Blackface Tremolux is EL84 IIRC.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
