You sold it to me, I sold it to Mo (remember him ?) and I believe he had it modified, but I forget the details.

Im quite cross I lost my Sound Practices CD. Live in hope itll emerge from somewhere. I know you can still buy them. Money counts over here. Yes and we still wash up by hand and only dryer we have is the washing line still.andrew Ivimey wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 7:41 pm Was it a 'Rankin'? ... coming back to me ..... Mo used px4s and one went 'spung'. ( know the feeling) however I will have notes somewhere; like Bugle it may have originated in 'Sound Practices'.
Simon, I haven't got time this weekend. I too have some gorgeous ecl82s and enough 45s so I'm tempted myself. Can't remember the psu details at all tho'.

Its much harder from uk to search in usa, so I went on browser not an ebay app. Turned this up for me.
Ebay uk has never been any good for buying 45’s. The USA is drowning in 45’s.

I thought Mo was getting Nick to do some "work" on the 45, but that was quite a long while ago.

He never specified what that work would be so it's just sat there.

I bought mine for £15 each on US ebay IIRC - they've gone up less than small signal valves. Bonkers.Paul Barker wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 8:22 am Its much harder from uk to search in usa, so I went on browser not an ebay app. Turned this up for me.

How do you distinguish that from "its been years since I last heard from Mo"?Im still in touch with Mo but have to say very long gaps in years between phone calls.

Well, because I had a phone call recently hence now, but might be over 10 years the previous call. So when i said above it was incorrect. In his call he checked a few things hes left in storage here.
Completely new subject, dont hear from Darren any more.

Me and Darren shared a batch probably £25 each. But factor in meeting in the middle to divvy out, and the fact their price was stagnant for many years.

If you hear from him again mention that I plan to clear the workshop out soon to replace the roof so it would be good to find alternative storage otherwise Simon can store them for him.
