tsk tsk - yep, that 4-400 amp would make pennance - hi
It's getting colder here in new england - but it only takes about 20
minutes for the L4 to warm up my lil shack to about 80F !
I had to search high and low to find a good pair of 3-400Zs and then had
to look even more to find chimneys as the 3-500Z chimneys are too tall.
But the effort was worth it. The L4's original graphite Amperex 8163
tubes have a nice glow but not as much impact as the 3-400Z :-) I wish
I had some Eimac 3-500Z to put in there - that would look sweet.
