Title: Hello
Post by: xcortes on November 03, 2022, 12:47:45 PM

Hello bros,

Any of the old timers still around? I'm still enjoying my many (way too many) BH kits, built pres and, of course, TP albums. Together with other scratch built amps.

Nowadays my musical time and budget is more focused towards my guitar and bass playing.

Saludos from Mexico (now dividing my time between Mx and  So Cal).

ps. The only BH kit I never managed to work right is a Tode. I'll send it up to the physician in Poulsbo!

Hi there!
Yes, I consider myself an old timer; ;D ;D.  Now, just playing a Mainline as all my gear is in storage waiting on the house to be finished.
Way too many builds also, they don't get the love anymore that I used to give them.  Still, there's one or two builds left in me before I hang up my soldering iron (or Paul retires :)).
My Tode spent some time in Poulsbo...had a random radio station that wanted to join the music.  Not many of these left around (at least not for sale).  They are definitely unique unicorns.

I remember you had some silver outputs that I couldn't get Mike to reproduce before he stopped winding.  If like his cobalt's, they must've aged beautifully.

X, I remember you from a long time ago, you sold me a bunch of CTS  50 ohm linear pots that I used on many builds and passed on to others. Glad to hear from you again. I hope you are well, as we have not heard from you in a long time. PJ is still around and Doc and Queen are also. I have more BH equipment than any sane person could ever use but that is what happens. Check out my Foreplay 3 builds and my Fi audio builds on the forum you might get a kick out of them. Again glad to hear from you.

Hey buddy!  Good to hear from you.  We recently moved back to San Diego.  Let me know when you're in town and have time to get together.

I recognize most if not all the user names here, so I guess that makes me an old-timer too  8)
