phase linear 400

[gene french]

i now have 3 properly functioning phase linears...
and a pioneer sx1080...
i only need the ps caps for the 200...recap, change to leds and upgrade the caps on the 8 fin....and of course my old 4 fin is truckin along....
waiting a bit on joe to ship things for the wopl build...THANK ALL OF YOU!!!

this emblem is for the front of the machine i am building...for my personal use...as a tribute to joes company for his design combined with the original phase linear 400......it is not for commercial use...i think it is a nice thing to do in appreciation of the help and inspiration he has shown me...others mileage may vary....
as joe said in this thread...if he ever finds the time maybe one day he will consider investigating a logo for his business....i dont feel i am stepping on toes...just showing respect...

Gene did not use the White Oak Audio font

 

[gene french]

it was just a tribute....not meant to be an intrusion on anyones intellectual property....
anyway....lol

Joe had a pretty cool avatar when he roamed Audiokarma. A White Oak leaf that was pretty damn cool..

 

[gene french]

just printed up a few...be here next week
i thought about putting the 400 in a oak leaf...
but wantec to keep it simple..

rob...check out the differences in the tint in the meters when machines are side by side so to speak....my old 4 fin is much darker....just as joe said it would be....

There is a very big difference between the 2

good morning....
my son called me at 2 am from milking....seems our lab died last night....
5 years ago we were working on the electric gate i built...and the dogs with us....dokie hid in the bushes next to us and charged a passing motorcycle...
it broke his back....and he lost the use of his back legs....our neighbor on the motorcycle got skinned up pretty nicely....he was understanding....
i built a little cart for dokie so he could more easily manuever ....and we bought doggie diapers from amazon.....probably should have put him down after the accident...but, i did not have the heart to do that....anyway....he did enjoy 5 more years....he was very independent....a good pet....
rip dokie....

So sorry Gene. It's hard loosing a good friend.

Sad and sweet story Gene. Some may not think the same about their dogs but my dogs are family members. Some better than family. Needless to say I know you loved him. May he rest in the Spirit.

All good dogs go to heaven.

 

[gene french]

kinda strange how you get so attached to your pets....one brother swore off of dogs after 3 life long wiener dogs....i forget the names....
he said it was just getting too tough to bury them....
we love our animals....
thanks everybody!!!!
the youngest pair of loros....they show up in the evening....we feed them....they sleep in the laundry room....after breakfast, out they go to their day job....whatever that is....it rained so hard yesterday....one bird came in late....seems he was too wet to fly....and walked up to the back door.....and squawked....came in for his supper....maria dried him off....and this morning they were on top of the dryer waiting for breakfast....lol
life can be so cruel on one hand and so miraculous on the other....
oh well, life goes on!!!

A great friend and I decided long ago that when we die we are going where all the dogs go. Lol. Maybe not so bad an idea.

Hi Gene,
Sorry to hear about Dokie. They are truly our best friends, and you've sure done right by him.
Love my dogs too.

 

[gene french]

sometimes you gotta be your own vet around here too....
surprising what you can do with duct tape, half a pool noodle, and pvc pipe, and some old rags....


she turned out just fine....did not have to put her down....kept her pinned up a bit....
if a cow gets to where they cant get up....you really dont have too many options...

 

[VSAT88]

Hell I am my own vet and I live in town. Ivermectin is something we been using since I was a boy on dogs to keep them wormed. I ain't eating that shit though no matter who says what. HA !
