Just rattling around through this.
Take it with a grain of salt.

would SO love to try that rig….

Here's the deal, go in and start asking in an excited voice if you all can give someone the death penalty. Or if on a case. whisper loudly "He sure looks guilty to me." The judge may not be impressed and may threaten to fine you. At which point you ask if you could just have jail time until your time is up. Guaranteed you won't be seated.


(Maybe not everything here is the best advice.)

Judge might not be impressed? Don’t know about Kentucky, but here it would definitely end with a contempt citation.

C'mon over.

What? It has to be hot.

It was from a church and really didn’t know what they had. I didn’t argue the price. Just gave them what they asked and they thanked me for hauling it away.

Pics of it in your possession please.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Full disclosure, while I was considering a T-bird I found this thread, and you all may have inspired/enabled my initial purchase. Now that I've dipped my toes in the pool, I'm already GAS'ing for the higher models.

We’re here to help. The more Thunderbirds, the better!

 

[Stealth57]

no…can you post a pic of the back of the head? curious to see what output tubes you got…

Your wish is my command. Supposed to be a pair of 6CA7.

With my CP as proof

@Chucky Stiletti Side note, why the left/right switch labeled ground?

 

[GonePlaid]

Silver knob update. The pic doesn't look as good as in person. I need GP for a better pic.

hmmm….6CA7 is american nomenclature for the EL-34…..I’ve seen them look like that (fat envelope like 6L6s manufactured by RCA) but they usually look more like their euro counterparts……

They claim the amp is from the 70s and never changed the tubes. Was sitting around not really used. Who knows. Need different photos?

I just play a voice clip of the exorcist next to the microphone of the phone. Rarely get a call back from the same number.

It’s not hard to imagine which clip it is that you use.

Rock it baby!

I have to admit, when not busy I will jack them around and waste their time.

The worst are the calls wanting to buy my house. I started telling them if they come up with a million cash within 24 hours, the place is theirs. The responses are pretty rude. And I’m ruder.

Stop low balling them

@dagrev post reminded me that I was going to buy silver tophat knobs for the VP. I like the look better than the gold.
