It's up to 50 F right now, but this cold is something else. It doesn't help that there's a whole second half of the house that isn't original and they never ran central heat to it. Meanwhile the rest of the house is toasty at 70. Heading down to -30 tonight with -60 wind chills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recall the laundry over the underground meth lab? Those dryers can handle a Fender, but the results aren't pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle usually does our laundry on Saturday. I was able to order a drum bearing kit off Ebay and get it installed between Saturdays a couple of weeks ago. I thought that was pretty good. As soon as I got it buttoned back up, the refrigerator quit cooling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things only break when you need to use them so normally it's a must fix situation, at least for me it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWL Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Sovtek EL84M power tubes. I've been tube rolling a lot lately and determined that NOS tubes sound better in my amp. The exception are the Psvane Treasure Series black bottle 12AX7 Super Tube and these EL84M's. They're not expensive and really sound nice. I think these are supposed to be a 5,000 hour tube IIRC.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC39693 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 On the topic of do it yourself ... we gave (sold?) our 2 daughters nearly identical VW Jetta cars. They both developed an annoying fan noise, rattle and bizarre sounds. VW wanted $1K to fix. Electrician son in law does You(fix it)Tube, finds exactly that problem, finds cheap Chinese replacement part, receives part, watches You(now do it)Tube repair video and done in 15 min. Total cost $25. Even if the thing only lasts a year, we can replace a few of 'em. Good grief, I don't mind a bit of cost to pay for all that overhead, etc., but really $25 vs $1,000? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
