Stevie,
in a coupl'a months more, will be using the recording gear that has been dormant since 2002 when the move from alaska to tejas was made. hopefully, being stored in SKB rack cases will have kept out enough moisture to prevent caps degradation.
[protected during cicada rhythm?]
with the air conditioning on a 24/7 schedule since may, big retirement recording plans must wait for ending of compressor engagement electrical interference from 3 different window units. [$avings from central air unit efficiency are an illusion when federal mandated refrigerant gets changed so frequently. go price an ounce of genuine freon R12]
was explaining to Ken by PM yesterday about trying it out on the Winfield Thomas "6SQ7" amp, and how that circuit age proves i'm NOT an olde man. digitally challenged mitchfit couldn't figure out how to load valco 510-1C schematic into PM for proof. if you still have a copy of that, can/will you post it here. please? also sent a copy to Terry Dobbs-AKA-Mr. Valco many moons ago, but can't find it posted there.
ah, yes...international parcel delivery! afraid all the constipations involved in this deal have soured Ken off repeating same. hence my praise for him above. must have been quite an ordeal for MM to navigate these waters creating his resonator guitar line....
my praise to him for guidance in making this happen also.
[and ~his~ patience in dealings with mitchfit!]

only pre-ban existing supply is still allowed here, market driven by 1960's and before car collectors with OEM AC systems. R410-A, R-407C and R134a currently in majority of remaining household appliances.
most any fluid that boils at room temps will eventually be found as fundamentally toxic if released in nature over the long run.
