I was looking at some high end audio stuff.  It all has gorgeous, backlit meters.  Where do they find those beautiful meters?

Man, finding backlit meters is a real challenge.  I wanted one to monitor the plate current for a 300B HB audio amp I built several years ago, and I hunted for a year before I found a suitable one.  Any hamfest will turn up a hundred or so regular-faced meters, but I nab backlit ones whenever I see 'em.

That is one pretty picture, Bruce.
You can almost get a sun tan from those bad boys.

For awhile the anode heatsinks I see on some of these tubes reminded me of something but I couldn't put my finger on it then all of a sudden it came to me.  They remind me of the cylinder heads I use on my RC cars and trucks.

Nice Picture Bruce.

Home of GORT. A buddy of mine named the 813 rig GORT.
His fear was when I turned it on for the first time life on earth would come to a stand still.
