Some of us take great pride in our work. In 50 years, it will NOT look like an original PL amp much less junk. It will be free of flux, chainsaw stripped wires, and burned boards.
The old junk can be dangerous to home and kats............ I'm not throwing the "Only I can afford the top shelf shit" in their face. I like the nostalgic LOOK of the PL, just not the nostalgic fire.
Givin a shout out to my ol Shipmate Jerry. Happy Birthday bro. Hope you have a good one. I WILL have a beer and toast your day........................ :)
Imaginge your friends surprise when a short time after getting them back from you, they take out his prized speakers or even better, start his kitty kat on fire.
