A lot of us here probably remember this famous ad

Beautiful cabs and great sounding EV12trxb's...

this has been chez sedon for a couple years; it was adwertized as not working when i got it - signal strength meter tube bad. i finally decided to try to trouble shoot it; the 6g-e12 signal strength meter tubes are rare as hen's teeth, and i had no luck finding another one for less than a few times what i paid for the complete tuna. i wariac'd it slowly last night, and gave it a go today; it turns out that everything is fine. one of the tube socket connections was shorting out against another chassis connection. w/everything cleaned, lubed, and the socket connector moved away from the chassis, everything works and sounds fine, including the signal strength meter tube.

it sounds good; further ewaluation will be forthcoming after it runs in a few days.

whitese, those ev's look sweet, but i'd be turning the tweeter lenses 90 degrees, and raising the front of the cabinets up a few inches... ever try the lenses oriented horizontally instead of wertically?
