Geek » Marshall 18 watt project
Where you going to put the tubes?
Mr. Wang was pretty happy there were extra hands around his shop, and assigned Xiao Lio and I to wire up someone's receiver, which we dutifully did while we chatted about what kind of tubes were going to go into this Marshall. I told them a couple of EL84s, then the question came up where I was going to put them. I hadn't thought that far ahead since I was still pretty heady over having solved my lingering chassis problem in less than an hour.
Before I could say "EL84" again, Mr. Wang was digging through a box of scrap, and pulled out an L-shaped piece of aluminum. "I just took this out of a dead stereo this morning. This should do the trick. Better plug that drill back in."
