I'm on a roll, don't stop me! Here are just a few photos from the next meet I have photos for. Again any assistance in filling in the details appreciated.

Yes, first pentode-driven 300B I was really happy with - about 6 months after the WE91B amp ( after Thorsten ) that was good, but lacked midrange tone. More driver current is better ! Funny - that breadboard and most of the stuff on it is still in my front room now, driving everything I've worked on in the last 10 years - only the 4P1L (pentode) drivers and their Lehane filament supplies have really changed the set-up.

The tube manual is quite like a telephone book. The number of it perfect. It is useful to make it possible to speak with a girl. But we can't see her beautiful face from the telephone number

Yeah, it's a bit scary that it was 10 years ago. Where's it gone?

That's just the output stage of Paul's 212 amp btw !
Terrifying considering the value of PX25s these days.
