Gladly... send it at full size, uncompressed, just how you see it after taking the photo and I'll do the rest.

Fairbanks's pictures of inside:





Compared with Skylab's:



One think is pretty obvious - this was done by hand.

Yep.

My biggest issue with the Yarland is the PCB-mounted tube sockets which are mounted the way they are - this is not an amp that will handle a lot of tube-rolling. But it is a very nice sounding amp.

I thinks he means, he's used to ones with solid mounting, which can't be handled from outside. You just have to be more careful with Yarland. Guess I'll give it a try since is the only good AMP in this price range available in my country.

According to YARLAND's website, the P100 has been upgraded with "improved output transformer structure". It is also good to see a European distributor for the P100, located in Holland, with very reasonable shipping rates to the UK - about £25. They are currently awaiting a new batch from YARLAND, upgraded with CLARITY CAPS in the output stage.

Over time it would worry that the stress on the PCB of changing tubes would be a problem. But I'm glad you have had no problems - that speaks well for the Yarland!

Actually,I upgraded the tube pins to better pins so there quite firm.Also I was going to ask you to do a review of the new Yarland amp when it arrives.I'm told they'll be here in a month or so.Also I'll make sure you get a fully loaded one this time since there only 20 minutes from my home.
