Not sure. Maybe something from Paul?
That was mine. c3g driving 2a3 I think. With not very good output transformers I think I remember.
I think the main reason why Europeans no longer want to travel to the USA is the big time difference. For me, it's now 7pm. In the USA it's now 1933.

I'm on a roll, don't stop me! Here are just a few photos from the next meet I have photos for. Again any assistance in filling in the details appreciated.

Fantastic !
Yes, first pentode-driven 300B I was really happy with - about 6 months after the WE91B amp ( after Thorsten ) that was good, but lacked midrange tone. More driver current is better ! Funny - that breadboard and most of the stuff on it is still in my front room now, driving everything I've worked on in the last 10 years - only the 4P1L (pentode) drivers and their Lehane filament supplies have really changed the set-up.

The one Peter and I came to was September '07. Witham Wobbler etc....

It's nearly 20 years since me and Paul barker first met up to compare amps/ speakers / etc.. he introduced me to the world designs forum and I introduced him to the very best of British audio...px4 valves
I've not looked back...
The tube manual is quite like a telephone book. The number of it perfect. It is useful to make it possible to speak with a girl. But we can't see her beautiful face from the telephone number

Yeah, it's a bit scary that it was 10 years ago. Where's it gone?

Oh dear - nostalgia ain't what it used to be

lots happening right now including...my phones about to conk out, Anna's booking Traviata and Ive opened a NZ pinot noir, whole nother story ... fer gods sake its cheaper to go to the opera in Budapest inc hotel, flights than London.

I like Budapest...

Blimey that seems like half a lifetime ago.

Paul Barker and his mighty 212 sounds rather phallic really...

That's just the output stage of Paul's 212 amp btw !
Look like the 212s are being driven by MH4s into globe PX25s.
Terrifying considering the value of PX25s these days. :D
