How long was the flight?
My flight to Amsterdam from San Francisco is almost 11 hours. Not bad. But I return via Paris and that flight will be almost 12 hours. Probably a slower plane

 
11 hours but they have over an hour delay.

For some reason, I want to see pictures of someone opening the box with an excited & crazy look on their face like a kid opening the "big" gift on Christmas morning...

Enjoy the moment my friend, you deserve it.

Just got a new fuse. Original was a T 3.15A L 250V, new one is a T 3.15A 250D but I tried it and it seems to work fine. I've revived the 2359Glenn 300b Integrated Amp!
 
I'll be buying a Tube Tester next. Stavros promised to help me find a good one for the tubes I need but welcome to any tips

I don't really!
I've just been very lucky since I joined Head-Fi meeting so many nice people like you X.

Ultra, that's great, sorry I couldn't be of any help.
 
I've learned the hard way about the value of testers.
I spent a lot of time and had plenty lessons from Bob Putnak of tubnesound.com who is one of the best when it comes to testers.
 
I am ready whenever you decide to look into the subject.

And there was much rejoicing!

I own 4 tube testers that I bought from Bob Putnak. He's a good friend of mine. We also share cooking recipes (believe it or not). They all have been calibrated and one of them actually has a rectifier in it. It is a tube tube tester!!!
 
Here are the Hickok Model 799, and the PACO Model 10-12.

That is great! you have the amp working again! The fuse did it job and protect the rest of the amp. I also have a Precision tube tester much like the photo. enjoy

 

[Ultrainferno]

What budget are we looking at for a tube tester?

 

[dminches]

For under $500 you can get a tester from Bob and that'll be all you ever need.

 

[Ultrainferno]

That's what I had in mind. Better shoot stavros and Clayton an email

 

[dminches]

I just got a Jackson 646 from him which I really like.

 

[Ultrainferno]

Any info/sites I should read up on? Are there any sellers in the EU (would save up on customs/sending costs)
