Location: Clinton ,Ct | I work for the town of Branford PD..so one day I go by the local tranfer station [dump] and ask them if they get music equip.they tell me sometimes things come in.I drive out the gates and I get a call to come back they have a tube amp waiting for me.I'm thinking what kind of amp would someone throw out? Hole s---.a mint CD60 blonde tolex Dean Markley With a matching cab. I can not believe it. the thing powers up. tubes glow I hear a buzzing noise .speakers shot big deal.I just retubed it three 12ax7's two 6L6's man the headroom on this thing. loud .but anyway over the past 6 months I have taken home a Peavy 110, an Ibanez tone blaster,Fender Champ ,and one of those guitar keyboard things from the 80's made by korg,that I just traded for a hand wired point to point 5 watt class A head single 12ax7 and El84. I get things from time to time I will keep you posted if anything grabs your fancy since you guys helped me out |

I love your screen name "knuckledragger". About 30 years ago I started as a Laborer, Tank Cleaner and then Rigger until the last half of my career. The term knuckledragger was thrown out often.
In life there are few garuantees except for breathing, taxes and the need to have someone take away your refuse! those of us who are "at your disposal" can be a lot more in tune with real life!
You've got to come to the factory tour May 19th.
Plan a sick day at least! :D |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Go back to the General Posting and look at the top 4 or 5 threads on OFC whatever. That should give you as much info as anyone has. It would be nice to be so close, or if I didn't have a wedding to go to. |
