Smeggy

Marshall is sending some special stuff that's supposed to melt the solder and keep it hot long enough to remove the chip in one piece so I'll see how well that goes before getting the clippers out.

I don't recall this one having any noise problems, though it hasn't been used for a few years

MisterX didn't build it, he was kind enough to offer help though.

i just looked up the retail prices for these... I didn't realize how much I must have spent at the time. Best garage treasure hunt evar!

It's going to be interesting to say the least, especially with all the other components in place. I guess this is where I find out whether I have what it takes in the soldering department.

Marshall is sending a new opamp and some magical stuff to remove the old one. Let's hope I don't fry its ass during the operation...

Sweet! I know it wasn't overly cheap at the time and it does have a very nice feel but as nobody uses them i was wondering if it was crappy. Glad it's not. So do you think it would be better saving this for my Dyna and getting a cheap alps for the SS?

I was hunting around in the garage last night and came across an old t-amp I put together many moons ago and it has a TKD pot attached, I bought it quite a while ago and don't recall where from. Are these any good? It's 50k so I figured it'd probably be ok for either the SS I'm about to start or maybe even the Dyna. I can't find too much info on it and nobody mentions them. looks the same as this which is listed as a Ko-on. Anyone familiar with these?

Wonder when the first giant LOD mod will arrive.

Do we know a minimum heat sink spec per board yet or is that still in flux?

Eh? You mean I actually went 5 years into the future? hehe

Nikongod has that covered.

Reks virginity, though given how slack he was I'm beginning to think I was cheated out of my $3

Pfft, Justin... what the hell would he know about them!

Erm... Pico?

Arrrrr!

Arrrrr, Gather rund ye scurvy knaves, for I have a tale that will curdle ye blood and chill ye to the core.. I bee limpin around on me old peg leg for many an adventure on the high seas and determined it were time for a new one. Armed with a piece of an old schooner mast I set to work. I'd just previously pillaged a woodshop and relieved them of one of them new-fangled pull action rip saws. A more fearsome set of teeth I'd never encountered. She were shiny and sharp, a real beauty. Little did I realize the depth of her treachery!! Dismissing me crewmates warnings of the bedvillled saw, I set to work on me new leg, ripsaw in me hook and holding the wood in me one good hand. I was tired and sleepy, so what better to cure me slovenliness than a nice bit of peg making I thoughts to meself... Before ye knew it, she was on me! Rippin at the end of me thumb for all she was worth.. Me poor flesh stood no chance against her ferocious bite and before I could cast her evil soul to the briney depths, she'd had her revenge on me. Aye, she was a wicked temptress, preying on me tired old carcass, biding her time until she were ready to strike.. Strangely I found meself wide awake thereafter... aaaarrrrr!

Don't be fucking wit sharp toos when you're tired, especially only 10 minutes after the wife says 'should you be doing that when you're so tired' ouch! ` That's gonna leave a mark...

Yeah, but they all suck. Ok, you all suck too but in a different way.

Yeah, I'd scratch him and pull his hair If I were you!

Mal fo short

I went back to the woodshop for another couple of pieces of poplar burl

Thanks It's all cool as long as I can successfully strap it all together to work I'll be extremely happy. Two awesome amps in one case? What's not to love
