Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Yeah, that stuff possibly has tubes - and kinda has to have tubes as the transistor hadn't been invented yet. So, yeah...

Man... Tubes are just such simplicity. They sucked in so many ways, but simple is what they were. Give me 8 hours and you'll be able to fix anything made with tubes - also 'cause of the size of components. You can reflow modern transistor PCBs, but it really should use special gear and it's expensive and difficult.

If you could start yourself a tube factory you may have a great opportunity

Small scale boutique tubes that are well made and backed with a warranty for like a year?

You'd probably be able to create such a company. They're not even that hard to make. I mean, I can't do it - but I know the mechanics of how it is made and I could research it to find more information.

Seems like it might be a great opportunity

I have no clue how they are built.
