Oh man @JJR58. It’s already that time again? Happy birthday my friend. Make it a great one.

Have a Happy 'nother year older day @JJR58.:hyper:

Happy "Glad you were born Day," Jeff!

Happy Birthday. Cheers!

Uh oh, cats outta the bag.
You guys are the best.
Kind of a milestone today for me.
Let’s just hope not a kidney stone.

Tube Tuesday.
Mesa 400 #88.
I believe it has Randall’s signature on the inside of the frame if I remember correctly.
At the time it was re tubed there was a shortage of Mesa branded 6550’s so the factory suggested STR 425’s
I didn’t notice a lack of punch or power.

Edit. The dust helps to keep the smoke on the inside of the tubes. :)

I would love to put that through its paces! Tell you what. Send it out here to me and I’ll A/B it against its grandson, my TT800. And then against the SVT VR.
