I think I have a Vintage Amp Porn addiction. I find myself reading schematics and thinking about circuits and testing things. I am obsessed. Maybe I can start a self-help group?

How’s about when you buy a old amp and it still has the OG tubes...
I'd post a photo of my 1961 B15n but it may cause need for medical assistance.
Here's a picture of the shirt Jaco has in the studio pictures. You can get it on Amazon.
I've gotten weirdly obsessed with these videos by this guy, the Guitologist. He does all kinds of amp repairs, mainly vintage tube amps. I understand about 1% of what he's talking about, but if you actually enjoy reading schematics, and find old amps fascinating... This is your guy.
@shadven - very impressive and drool worthy. And clever! I like how you snuck in the kenmore 'fridge' with the pair of ampeg fridges in the first pic!
