......swim, if I wan't to keep listening to my Paraglow/Abby combo. For nearly 10 years I've had a good friend make all my repairs. He also introduced the C4S board. The amp itself was built for me by the ever-so-generous Phil Sieg.
My friend has moved to the other side of the country.....and aaarrggh.....my amp broke! I was looking at the sick amp today, attempting to make sense of it all, when it dawned on me, I don't have to build this sucker. It's already built! All I have to figure out is what just happened when I turned the amp on last week and had one of my 2A3s fog up and die. Just in case it was just the tube, I placed a good tube into the socket and nothing happened.....no fireworks....just a dead amp. I switched speaker cables and still nothing.
So hopefully, I can borrow a decent Weller soldering station, some solder, and a volt-ohm meter......did I mention I'm dead broke. I live in Mountain View, California (Googleville). Anybody want to help me out? This time around, I'd appreciate somebody simply handing me the metaphorical fishing pole and with a bit of guidance, teach me how to fish, so when the amp dies again, I might just be able to remedy the problem on my own.
I'm not too sure about this new format. It seems to me, the only folks that are going to be reading about my plight will be people looking through the "Legacy Products"/Paraglow posts. On AA, I used to get a dozen responses or more within 3 or 4 hours. Just a thought....(are you reading this Doc?)
