Hi,

I've been following your "adventure" from the beginning, and it's hard to believe that this guy may still sell his product. Just by the language he's using, I can't see anyone wanting to do business with him. Obviously, the way he writes English tends to show it's not his mother tongue. I am a francophone, and I'd be shy to write like this.....If you don't know....ask !!!!!

Anyway, not only I am glad you recovered your money, but also that you let the community here know about him....

Simply amazing. I hope this guy loses his ebay account. I edited the F words

"And, its relist item, one f*****g guy bought my item and he touch the tube and burn his hand, and leavel a negative to me. its f*****g kidding, any body know the tube was f*****g hot, and the 6AS7 power tube was 3A hi current on the filament, it must hot, so, I will warning any one if new for tube amplifier, don't touch the tube."

He wants an "honest buyer only" ? LOL !!!

He should slap a "Made in Afghanistan" label on the back.

PS: I also reported this item as dangerous.

Peete, that's funny! I might save this guy in my favorite seller's list just to have a laugh every once in a while. lol!

This has been a fascinating saga to take in over the past 15 minutes. as the victim of ebay fraud in the past i can relate and would love to see this piece of work thrown off the site. will be filing a complaint myself for the use of such language has affronted my delicate sensibilities. And i love that this story has a happy ending. cheers boys!!!

Can someone send the pics to ebay to show the dangers of this amp?.

That auction is the only thing today that has made me laugh.

I love the statement in the auction

"comes from smoke free home of an avid audio enthusiast"

I wonder if he can assure potential purchasers that their homes will continue to be smoke free if they buy the amp? - Based on this thread I doubt it somehow!!

Guess what ???

The guy also sells on Canuck Audiomart !!!

Looks like a cleaner build this time around but the circuit doesn't look to be any different.

Maybe Dr Gilmore can weigh in with his opinion of the CanuckAudioMart ad's internal build pic ?

Peete.

The wiring does look a bit better, but the whole package still looks very amateurish.  The woodwork is horrible.

Beside the amateurish, I have never seen anyone building a tube amp would mounting those component in a wodden plate "expertise" like he did.
