Well... April is coming up. Since you got your TECH in Feb, Your General in March, how about joining us Extras in April?

IN a stick house the old tube rigs are good. and they have advantages in other areas as well, But in a motor home or TT you need something compact and power efficient. Tubes are not compact (Save perhaps the Nuvistor) and are not efficient power wise.

THEY DO, however, have a tendency to survive EMP's that would blow a transistor to atoms
