[Amps] Quick 220 outlet?

[Dr. William J. Schmidt, II]

Aren't we done with this hillbilly electrician stuff yet?  If you can't wire 
up a 220 outlet by now, better sell the amp and tear up your ticket.

Sincerely,

Dr. William J. Schmidt, II  K9HZ
Trustee of the North American QRO - Central Division Club - K9ZC
