>I need a spare set uf tubes for My Gibson Les Paul amp. I’ve tenatively dated it to 1954, but thats a best guess based on the Jenson speaker (looks original) in the thing. At any rate, if I could just locast a list of teh tubes, that would help. Most of teh tubes are so old and black, no markings are visible.

When I was young and so was Elvis, I was taught to breathe on
illegible tubes until they fogged, so that they could be read. You
won’t believe how well this works until you try it. I have even used
this trick on metal envelope tubes.

 

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.
