Tube Tech

[Metal Geezer]

Somwhere between banging 2 rocks together and LSI chips we had vacuum tubes.
Everywhere I post I eventually start a tube thread as I love working on MI and pro audio tube gear…..and dispelling internet fueled misinformation.
Post ’em if ya got ‘em….ask questions….or educate me.

without google, ok, without any search engine,, can you list the tubes in an all-American-five tube radio??

 

[Metal Geezer]

Sure can’t. ?
In my defence I was never a “radio” guy.?

I have a tube guitar amp too. I had a '65 fender reverb but a family member borrowed it from my parents while I was away in the navy an it never found it's way home.

The local drug store had a tube testing machine. I remember when the TV would act up my older brother would pull all the tubes an take them there to test them to find the bad one.

Back at it. Knob set screws were badly corroded. All the Rustbuster in the world wasn’t budging them. Time to break out the drill….

Dropped in on an old friend and fellow tech to pick up the tubes I need for this amp. What an awesome setup he has. I’m tempted to redirect my Ranger funds into audio gear….again
Here’s the 2 minute tour….
