Stunning work as always for all those involved in your amp.

That's radome, Jay, and here's a pic:

Stands for Radar Dome, and they were conceived back in the '50s for airplane and missile tracking. Nicknamed Ike's Golf Balls, after U.S. president Eisenhower, they were placed all over North America - yes, many were in Canada - and called the DEW Line (Distant Early Warning Line.

For some reason that pretty little knob made me think of them.

I noticed you mentioned something about letting it dry overnight somewhere. Once you put a few drops of hotmelt glue in the knob and quickly slide the knob on the shaft, it will be dry and ready to use in less than a minute.

It's very similar to your sex life...once the shaft is inserted, it's just seconds from being finished.

Again, really nice outcome, congratulations. In reality though, as I recall from your earlier posts way back when, this project took something like eighteen months, and at least two trips back to Peter. Lucky for you you live in Canada, postage would cost a fortune for those of us down south (CONUS). You also had the audio electronics czar Kevin Gilmore consulting as well. Your resources and patience are way beyond what is available to us mere mortals. Congrats again, you just took Peter's amp up about three levels.
