Dee has a silk screening process that he does to the front panel of
those old johnson rigs. I've seen a couple that he's done, and no
doubt, they come out looking better than they did when they were brand
new in the 50's and 60's. Somewhere, some hamfest, someone had a Ranger
I,, that had a re-finished front panel, and the owner then had the case
chrome plated. Looked sharp... but it wasn't 'right' looking if I were
going for aesthetics).
I think I want to build up a single 6080, or 6SA7... some dual-triode
tube with substantial plate dissipation, and then modulate it with a
pair of the same.
