Almost sounds like a cry for help doesn't it?

A sad and pitiful cry....sniff...

  And speaking of food, I'm thinking about making a Dutch apple pie this weekend like the one I had in Amsterdam and all while listening to Melody Gardot.
 
Then I will devour the pie while listening to Robert Plant and Alison Kraus Raising Sand LP.
 

 
When the question is whether or not to make and eat pie, the answer is always yes.

 

[rosgr63]

Very sensible answer!

If my attempt at baking a Dutch apple pie turns out to be a success this weekend, then I'll post a picture of it. Otherwise I'll just eat it and try another one. Just like tubes. If one isn't just right, then one must try another one.
 
Guys, I'll be Dutch apple pie rolling this weekend. Probably in matched pairs.
 
Get ready.... Set engines to "Full Speed" ahead!

 

[rosgr63]

Do you need a little help testing?

Clayton you could send a piece to North Carolina for testing !
Even if it don't look perfect I am sure it will taste perfect and that is all that matters.

Friends, Head-Fier's Countrymen, lend me your tubes!

 

[rosgr63]

Thanks Eric, I feel much better now!
 
I can concentrate on Clayton's wonderful cooking now............
 
 
Twin box plates in the same glass envelope?
Is that possible?

Bummer the filament in one of my JJ300Bs burned out only one year old What

Darn is that a bit over $100?

 

[Clayton SF]

That means that I have only 9 months left on both of my JJ300Bs. Eeek!

 

[2359glenn]

I made Clayton's and Lieven's amps with the filament running at 4.5 volts so the 300Bs will last longer. Running at 4.5 volts will not affect operation.
These new production tubes sound OK but were not made to last. My WE300Bs were in the amps for years then I sold them when I got sick.

 

[2359glenn]

Clayton yours should last longer due to the lowered filament voltage.
And my amps are on 5 to 6 hours every day 12 or more hours on Saturday and Sunday.
The thing is the GE globe #210 driver tubes outlasted at least 10 pairs of 300Bs over the last 15 years.
