Hello everyone, My name is Laurie

I normally like to mess around repairing solid state equipment but I have a few valve radios that I have been intending to get around to for a while now. I am hoping you guys can help me with some questions here and there. Great site by the way!

Welcome. Ask away as the questions arise.

Meanwhile, do you have any experience in working on high voltage equipment?
