Yeah, be careful, that solid state shit will suck you in.
I remember, back, oh hell it might have been '68 or '69, I was eased on
over to the dark side.
12AX7's weren't quite as available in the TV sets I was scavenging for parts as
they used to be, but the transistorized garbage was coming in.
Never looked back, but beware, the 21st century will come along soon enough
and whack you on the back of your head!
Oh lord, where is thy vacuum?
sorry, just an old fart bitchin'
