No, unfortunately no schematic, that was the first question I posed when he showed me the picture. A schematic would tell us a lot, I'm sure. If I get my hands on the equipment, it will be a bit easier to determine what it is by putting my ohm meter on the resistor. Thanks for the response.

A friend of mine has an old piece of non-audio vacuum tube equipment and has asked me to identify a component from a photo. It looks to be a sort of variable resistor but I am not certain. He also asked me if it looks burned. I know this isn't audio related but I was hoping somebody could help...

I'll try and get some pics but I'll have to bring it home first - no cameras allowed at work. Besides that I don't know if it will be very evident in a picture. I did email Little Dot and I imagine that they may be interested in a picture, so I'll give it a shot. What is the finish on...

Haven't posted here for a while, but I have a question for Little Dot MKIII owners. My LD MKIII has been happily sitting on my desk at work receiving fairly regular use. It is about a year-or-so old. Note that I work in an office cubicle and there is nothing in the air that can be considered...

Ok, a quick question here: I have a stock Woo6 (no upgrades at all) and I thought the only tubes I could roll were the standard 6DE7 or the 6EW7 but I am reading that a lot of folks are rolling many other tubes. Is this a function of the upgrades or can these tubes also be used with my...

I'd really like to get a Panerai watch, however, due to my cheapness, I can't bring myself to part with the necessary funds. Having said that, does anyone know of any good quality Panerai replica watches, from reputable sellers? (I use the term "reputable" rather loosely considering the nature...
