[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 856708, member: 144"] [i][SIZE=19px]Mr Mars![/SIZE][/i] What are you setting in motion every now and then? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Rereading the reference you initially posted .... How nice it would have been if us oldies (including you for the purpose of this post) could gather round a campfire with the necessary food and liquid substance and share friendly views of the days of excitement, when one's first one-valve radio (frequently oscillating job with tickler winding) actually worked, from there progressing to something more risky (a full-fledged Mullard 5-20 and having touched the 450Vdc rail at least once) >:( Thanks for raising these bits of read from yesteryear, even if only to 'relocate' as it were, to what basics of good amplification was all about and times when one could not even spell 'trasnitser'. 'Good old days'? At least the necessary components were available from Hamrad and whatever stores featured in other centres. (I still have a tall 6L6G in a Ken-rad box marked '12/-') Best wishes to all still dabbling in the winter-friendly glowing lamps! [/QUOTE]
