5 Watt Tube Guitar Amp Conversion Project
#6
The cab looks good - worth the price I suppose given the value added.

I'm very happy to hear that you've had better luck than I with the EF86! A wealthy client once insisted that I build him an EF86 based amp. At first I declined due to the typical issues with that tube. A few weeks later he showed up with about 50 various samples. I kid you not - I tested every single one and found only 8 that were well behaved enough.

In the end the client was happy, I had two additional units to sell (I can't seem to build one amp at a time) and I had a few spare good EF86s for repairs.
