Paint the base line black. It'll really make it pop. :thumbup:
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.

Fixed
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Righto, an update of sorts. Have sold 3 more SRTs recently including my first to the USA (Ebay ad). Wanted this one to go like clockwork for all the reasons. I got me a DHL credit account but the freight cost is still hellish. So, built a 120VAC version, tested it for hours and freighted it to Alaska. Freight was worse than I calculated so I will be lucky to break even. The amp arrived with the new owner today but has been damaged in transit, fuck. I can't believe it, chassis ends are bent, tube shields are squashed and front panel is chipped. It must have been a seriously heavy crush injury and I'm extra glad I got it insured. It was a completed chassis but sans tubes, reverb tank & footswitch so no glass fragments at least. So the new owner plugged in a bunch of tubes and fired it up & it still runs which is good news. It's a tough road to being a tube amp mogul, more lessons learned...

Yep, just what I didn't want. I might be able to spin it though... "DHL dropped the amp over Alaska at 30,000 feet and it survived apart from a few small dents..."
