Glenn I got this nice RCA (which are one of my all time favourites) 1633 NIB pair 1948 vintage for $19.99.
 
An equivalent pair in 6SN7 (which sounds the same) would cost much more.
 
It's just that my tube addiction has expanded vertically and horizontally with my GR Super 10!
 
Glenn my 14 year old niece told me I am too fat and I am not allowed any ice cream, to eat or even look at.........

 
I know been bad making you a amp that can use so many different tubes but it was fun to make and sounds good.
 
How can she call you fat after seeing me. Does she know you have L's strawberry jam to put on top of the ice cream.

They come bigger then that The New York subway system used Mercury vapor rectifiers to change
3 phase 660 volts to DC for the trains they replaced the inefficient motor generators that were originally used,
They were still in use not that long ago but are all replaced with large SS rectifiers now.

You can still find videos of the Mercury vapor rectifiers used in train stations on the web. They are bright, noisy and have a big cooling fan. Those tubes gives me the impression that they will blow up any minute.

And to think, I use to ride all 130 miles of subway tracks in NYC and had no idea what lurked beneath!

Glenn, can you make adapters for those Mercury vapor rectifiers to fit in your monomonos? I wonder if I can find two NOS on ebay.

Now you're hurting my feelings, I can't reveal ALL my secrets!!!!!!!
Somehow she found out.......I have no place to hide now.

Glenn,
 
any news on what you're working on at the moment?
 
I found this pic Clayton once sent me: chocolates and Glenn amps. perfect!

 

[rosgr63]

I can see the Big Russian at the back, with great difficulty as I can't get past the chocolate!!!!
 
This is very distracting Clayton and tempting and I am on a diet and I can't have any sweets........I am not allowed.

Well if you keep to your diet, in a year when Ultra- and I come knocking on your door in Greece, you'll be able to eat all the sweets you want, then. Look out!
 
We must all plan ahead! Glenn, you too!

Great positive thinking, I like it.
 
Meantime how often can I be naughty until then?
 
BTW there'll be no tube or amp talk when we meet.

Even if you were serious I wonder how long it would take for one of us to bring up amps or tubes

Or: if one mentions tubes/amps, the others get to eat some chocolate!
