Frank = flecom, but FrankCooter of DIY tube fame is not coming to CanJam as far as I know, which ain't much more than speculation.

That's the idea. Of course, you do know that what is pictured is only half the story, right? Look back a few pages for pictures of the power supply.

You betcha, I need to talk with one of you about a transport for it though...

Thanks for the kind words, but it's no where near up to the level of fabrication of Ray's amp. It's meant to be plain mean looking. As Al said, I didn't name in the Menace without thinking.

Any 18 hours, or did you have specific ones in mind? I guess I will bring them and just keep an eye on them and loan them out to trusted individuals [with a small deposit, of course].
