If this is the mod where you increase the PI plate voltage, you can check
out my notes at http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/mt24/Amp/

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
