Yet another get*set*go

Built this yesterday ... James outputs, Triode power, Triad choke.
I used 6A3's ... same tube as a 6B4G in a 4 pin UX socket. It will
make future conversion to 300B's a simple resistor swap.

I think you've made more amps for Joisey than all the western Canadian boutique places combined cranked out in the last decade. Congrats!!!! (wine)

I'm helping the Canadian economy by buying Hammond 12x8x3 black chassis as fast
as they can crank them out! Seriously, I've built around 100 amps. Fun stuff.

Tom, did you get a thermal printer or order those stickers? Love it.

One of my long time customers designed and made them for me. They are thin and durable, not sure of the material.
His name is Alan Winslow, probably a member here as well. Winslow Press in Cape Coral, FL, no web site, but
email him at winslowpress at aol dot com if you're interested.

He's a get*set*go fan, and I just modified this JE Labs 2a3 amp I built a few years ago to be an RCA 91A clone with 6SJ7s/Red Bank 5693's.

Cool, Tom - thanks! Yes, I definitely know Alan. My last thermal label person didn't respond to my last RFQ, and these printers are beasts to work with and are expensive. Still no cheap consumer version available.

It's all in the technique and printers will try and sell you on the most expensive one.

Dye-sublimation printing is the permanent method for most materials and if you get 500 or 1000 stickers at a time, are comparable with printing them yourself. It's the method Cafe Press uses because it's quick and dirt cheap for low volume jobs. But because they shine with lower volume jobs, a smaller printery is what you want to be on the lookout for, not the big multi-national ;)

Cheers!
