Title: Crack is a tough beastie
Post by: Gizur on February 13, 2023, 11:49:48 PM

Came home the other day to find our Boston Terrier had got excited and hauled my Crack off the desk by the headphone cable that was dangling down!

After getting over the shock a bit, I straightened a couple of caps put back on the wooden case and fired it up.. absolutely no problems. Wood has a couple of dints but that's it.

It's definitely a tough bit of kit!

You're lucky the valves survived! Enjoy.

You’re lucky. My 18-month-old pulled mine off of the desk last week and shattered my Tung-Sol 5998. The Crack itself is fine (as is the kid). It was a sad day nonetheless.

Ouch!!

Not sure how my tubes survived but I didn't have a 5998 at stake....

Yeah, my brain went to a dark place for a few minutes.
