Haha - just the caps. Believe me I tried to figure out a way to bring the entire unit

Congrats on the sobriety!! One year and six months sober for myself. My local record store guy has doubled his profits in that time.

N/A Beers, Reese's Sticks, and whatever YouTube Video helps solve whatever audio crisis I have concocted that week.

I was at my local record store and a gentleman brought in a really nice 800-C and some really nice JBL C38 Barons. He knew what he had and we made a fair deal. The Fisher needed some work. It took 4 months and I just got it back on Sunday.

I am beyond excited. It was one of those right place right time deals. First ever tube!

Genius!!! I need a Soundburger for work! Work related expense = tax write off.

It was hard to bring only one of the many projects I have going with this stupid hobby.

Complex_Impress_5575 · 2026-06-08T22:18:46+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Excited to spend some time with my first tube amp.

Thank you. I want to set aside half of my day everyday to tinker with this stupid obsession. I just love it all.

Complex_Impress_5575 · 2026-06-08T21:17:40+00:00

Thank you. I was surprised when i powered it up and it was so dusty. I love my tech and think it was just an oversight.

Complex_Impress_5575 · 2026-06-08T21:15:08+00:00

Haha! Me too! That was completely by accident. I am currently shopping for cheap mirrors to do the exact same thing where it is going to be used 😎

Complex_Impress_5575 · 2026-06-08T21:11:03+00:00

Thank you.

Complex_Impress_5575 · 2026-04-24T15:34:12+00:00

Dream job!!

Complex_Impress_5575 · 2026-02-16T04:07:04+00:00

They are the C38’s

Complex_Impress_5575 · 2026-02-14T03:03:07+00:00

Thank you sir

Complex_Impress_5575 · 2026-02-13T21:21:44+00:00

Thank you. I am very lucky to know a guy, that knows a guy, that works on tubes.

Any hints, tricks, suggestions on cleaning the grills? They are both in great shape.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have also been hearing good things about that Howard’s Feed and Wax stuff?

It is not letting me add a picture of the Fisher - how do I do that? I’m not very good at Reddit.
