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.
