just a fun one that I found when rummaging...
Sparton and Cardon made mesh versions of a few of our favorite tubes.... this one is the half wave rectifier type 81... I love them just because of the big globe bottle and the beautiful filament that glows through the mesh... here is a shot pulled from the mesh 50 I used in a line level crossover I built a while back...
and for Adam, I must zoom out a bit on that first shot... he has been promised this photo for a while...
and lastly... could you read that label? how about a close up?
yeah.. that's right.. Bonham Music Shop in the Haight... rumor has it John Bonham's old man sold Jerry Garcia this very rectifier! I am gonna eBay and retire! (rumor not verified)
Peace,
Me

Hi Jeffrey,
ReplyDeletejust saw the half-pipe in your garden on one of these pics. You could make a brilliant horn out of it – for garden parties or something ;)
Best,
Peter
