People get so excited about obsolete tech that they make up new [url="http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/steampunk/"]obsolete tech[/url].

People need to post their amp guts here too. Otherwise I'll run out and have to go buy more amps.

There was an amp guts thread a couple of months ago that was fascinating, but it was poo-pooed and fizzled out. Unfortunately, I can't help because my amps are in a rack thingie. Otherwise I would contribute with some internal pics of amps that use - wait for it - integrated circuits! :)

I did have a look for it. Got impatient. Ain't photoed my SS amps cause if they are dead, I can't do much to fix them, so they don't come apart much.

There wasn't a commercially viable alternative to valves till the early sixties ... so I guess you could call valves a 1900's - 1950's technology --- Wikipedia [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_tube"]Vacuum Tube[/url]
