mewsie Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='417811' date='Feb 23 2009, 08:25 PM']I think Mewsie might have something to say on that...[/quote] Haha, well I can safely say that optometrists are most definitely NOT all the same. I'm curious about this 'surgery course' though. Think he might be having you on about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornybank Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Intristin', that. There are some basic procedures for which the NHS have a long waiting list and they tie up lots of resource for basically in-and-out ops. So... there are courses to train opthalmic opticians to do teh procedures, adapt their premises, get a nurse on board and turn these around. He already has state of the art retinal scanning kit and software, and has saved a good few eyesights where GPs and geriatric visitors have missed pressure build up from diabetes, and early onset galucoma cases. Unfortunately, the NHS is not fronting for the training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixshooter Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='417606' date='Feb 23 2009, 05:14 PM']Yes, its not listed on this site: [url="http://www.trace-elliot-v8.com/"]http://www.trace-elliot-v8.com/[/url] (We've discovered another one, lads!)[/quote] That will be number 79 then! still makes my old one the newest out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 [attachment=21015:V8_FRONT.jpg] ....... and the 3 substantial handles on the top mean what exactly!? Does the optometrist also do hernia repairs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornybank Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 He says he would have to see the hernia before he says yes. Any photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our drummer can carry my V8 on his own, he uses the middle handle before the gig and outers after, when he's pre'occupied the guitarist and I use the outer handles. Chassis number ''79'' like finding an old race car that you'd not heard about. Its got the oval name plate which was intro'd in later chassis. Exciting stuff......

SS73 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='417540' date='Feb 23 2009, 03:47 PM']Good point, well presented. I shall have a look at it tonight. Thornybank, whats the serial on the amp? I can only see one for the cab there?[/quote] The internal fuses which sit on the output valve board, were a problem with the amp, they were only fitted due to some EU safety laws, so I was told. They were modded through the production, but the last evolution was to remove them and hard wire the connection, mine has this mod and I think the man himself did the work.

Zentner Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 He's not selling the V8 too, is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornybank Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 V8 went a while back... Current Trace amps: AH150 AH200 AH250 AH500 Current valve bass amps: Fender Bassman 135 Hiwatt 200 Sound City 100/120/200 Marshall JMP 50/JMP 100 But you probably want a V8.... ...sigh....

My V8 had fuse issues a couple of years ago. It blew one of the power tube fuse holders plus some circuit board component (resistor or something). I'd like my V8 to be more reliable.
