Lucy is making another monkey bread it should be out of the oven in a hour.
Hot and sticky.
Clayton I wish I could send you some.
This is after she made Chinese dumplings for dinner. I was going to take a picture
but I couldn't Waite and ate them.

The Monkey business is in the works.
Dim sum I need to go to NY for dumplings and pizza.  Lucy can make some darn good dumplings
But we don't have the right oven for pizza.

If you can make it to NY I will take you to dinner.  There's a new place in Flushing I want to try out.

Hi Glenn,
That monkey bread looks soo good!
Because of Lucy's contributions you should upgrade all your amps to "Monkey Bread Business"...much "sweeter"!
 
Pizza:
If you want to make great pizza at home you can build a FrankenWeber out of a pizza stone, a Weber and a propane burner.
That is how our local pizzeria, Pizza Hacker, started.

If you google "frankenweber" you can find instructions or plans etc. You can build a 900 degree oven easy...but that doesn't mean you don't still visit me us in SF for our good pizza!

Glenn,
 
Given how well regarded the GZ32 / CV593 rectifier is in your OTL, I was thinking it might be interesting to try some American equivalents. The National Valve Museum lists 5AQ4, 52KU, 5V4G and 5Z4G. Radio Museum lists only 5AQ4 and 5V4G. Can you confirm that some or all of these are suitable?
 
And has anyone tried any of these American tubes?

The 5V4 and 5Z4 cannot handle the current the amp draws.
the rectifier has to handle at least 250ma  300ma would be better

Wife took me to dinner tonight.   All you can eat too.

Thanks Glenn.
 
And after perusing eBay, it appears that there really aren't any American versions of this tube. They all appear to be European or Russian versions of the GZ32.... But I did manage to pick up a nice pair of 5AW4's for a good price the other day, so life is good.

Say no more.

Hello Stavros,  that means the mad scientist is about to make the finishing touches I presume.   Have a big bottle of bier for the big day.
