wotts was suggesting himself, actually. He's skilled and has access to resources. Not trying to give him up or anything. 

 But he might be able to help you.
 
And if it helps to know, I'll be so silent, you'll be suspicious!

No, I don't like that, no way!
We want you active and talking.

You're right. If I'm to provide feedback...

Bought a NOS 1956 USAF-596 last night. Just received shipping confirmation - going out the door Monday! I feel secure now having a backup!

I got your back, baby!

Congrats, and thanks

I hope to acquire a third and an adapter, and send it out on tour. There are some members who'll deserve to hear this rec but won't have the opportunity, so I'm stepping in. My way of giving back to the audio community. Of course, if they own WA5's, then we got a dilemma...

SO Nicely put!

Now I am counting on the first part of your name!
 
Wotts do you mean you might be able to find somebody who can build adapters?

I think I might be able to build them myself. I just need to figure out what all goes into them. From what I understand, it's a few passive components, wire and a grid cap. Figuring out what tubes can work where requires reading the tube sheets. To date, I haven't bothered, relying on vast amount of knowledge available here. But I do have a local tube guru that would be willing to teach me what I need to know. Beyond that, I know how to solder, perform light machining and weld. I can't imagine it's too hard.

Nice to be clever with your hands.
The ones I am actually talking about require rewiring of the pin connections, no other parts involved but one socket going inside an octal base.

I'll see what I can find in the way of bases and parts.
 
 
In the mean time, would anyone like to share so photos of the lovely Glenn amps?

Hi wotts, thanks.
I have already ordered the parts, waiting for delivery.
I am looking for a DIY person to put them together.
 
Posted a photo of the tube under tests in the 6SN7 Tube Addicts thread.

No need, as promised you'll be the first Head-Fier to test in and give us your opinion.

Heard from Glenn this morning. Says "Hello" and "Thank you for the card" from all of us.

Thanks for the update SO.
