| vibrapod residue Hey Doc-VM&P Naptha from any paint store is gentle enough to clean lacquered antiques. Goo Gone and Goof Off from Depot/Lowe's is worth a try. Try each on a non-visible part first like where the stock feet would cover the case. Then there's Mr... | |
| loose tubes Be advised that changing tube sockets isn't anything like changing a capacitor. On 9 pin, all nine pins have wires soldered, some of them have multiple wires and/or resistors. Then you have to get in there with a probe from your meter while it's p... | |
| loose tubes No sheet, huh, Dekay?It's called emery cloth or the finer grit is crocus cloth.Nh Fi, Michael Percy has the fancy tube sockets, www.bainbridge.net/percyaudio | |

| Best, OK, really good parts site: Mouser No question Michael Percy and Welborne, too, for the more exotic and expensive stuff, but when you need a small assortment of metal film resistors and a few soldering terminals, the no minimum at Mouser is great. BTW, Audience, audience-av.com, ha... | |
| Biwiring I don't understand how there can be a crossover effect at the amp binding posts. Can someone please explain? | |
