Is this a good instrument to own?

If you say it looks nice, I'd like some help getting it as I know I could use one with all the bad amps I have. I have seen a few Sencore products in a more affordable range lately, if not the heavy-duty whizbang equipment I still desire, but very nice.

I was asleep at the wheel, literally and dropped the ball on this one, my humblest apologies.

By the time I got back to it the time was around midnight or later and I didn't figure you'd check email at 7-8 am.

Don't worry, I didn't wake up until the president was on my TV at the memorial service in CT. I got your message and Nando's and will get that done tomorrow, I hope. We've had strong rains and high wind and NE Oregon had blizzard conditions. Things aren't expected to get clearer before Tuesday but we don't have snow and the western half of the Treasure Valley usually has inverted weather patterns from the Boise area, hence we take longer to get snow sometimes.

Women here wore short pants until the beginning of this month, which is about as strange as I've ever seen it around here!

The storm will make it into our valley tomorrow, whether rain or snow.

There will be another, it's eBay.

Women wearing short pants is a good thing....Maybe one of the upsides of "Global Warming"- if you believe in that theory...and I just don't know. The weather certainly has been weird the past 20 years though..I wish we would get some snow here. I'd love to have a White Christmas this year... I'm so excited.. I gotta go check out this "Cricket" thingie,,,

Not in December! That's a sure sign that the crops could have a hard time next year and we don't need a water crisis.

It's very rare that you really need more than the diode range on a good meter to fix an amp. You can check all of the transistors and diodes in an amp in a few minutes with very accurate results with a meter.
