[Amps] A $500 amp!

[Will Matney]

Mike,

What made me jaw drop was how they had the HV lead coming out of that plywood box and the way it went into the amp. They had the wire going through an un-insulated hole where the power cord used to be. The wire looked like regular hookup wire, and some looked to be stripped out of SO cord. I was seeing somebody laying their hand on the cabinet, and well you see the picture. Then I read it had been upgraded. Upgraded from what? I've seen a lot of 11 meter amps, including one made with a paint pan (like you dip your roller in) for a chassis, but this one really gets my goat. Well at least they tried to stain and varnish the plywood box, hi hi.

Best,

Will
