Martin is a smooth and patient businessman, Ive also spent hours with him at past Daytons.

As far as Alpha-Ten he will wait until the downhill curve is getting steep before making his move....I watched and predicted Cushcraft when others said "no way".....but he aint no kid any longer either.

I spent quite a bit of time with Martin yesterday at Dayton. He and I worked at the same defense industry plant back in the '60s, and have been friends for a long time.

I don't believe he has any interest.

Anybody got one of the old Alpha vapor-cooled amps still running? A friend just acquired one, but it has some problems (a transformer, if I remember right)? If the tube is still good (he doesn't have any way to test it), I'm
advising him to restore it and put it on the air. Pretty rare amplfier.



Speaking of Alpha, I've heard (from a credible source, but consider this
still in the rumor category) that after the merger, Alpha amps will be
assembled in Tennessee, but that engineering, design (and possibly repairs?) will continue to be done in Colorado. I'm glad they're keeping engineering separate. The design philosophies of the two companies are very different.
