Fantastic !
Yes, first pentode-driven 300B I was really happy with - about 6 months after the WE91B amp ( after Thorsten ) that was good, but lacked midrange tone. More driver current is better ! Funny - that breadboard and most of the stuff on it is still in my front room now, driving everything I've worked on in the last 10 years - only the 4P1L (pentode) drivers and their Lehane filament supplies have really changed the set-up.

I thought Peter and Shane came to the one at the Pub next to the American diner on the A1. Probably a year after that one ?
The one Peter and I came to was September '07. Witham Wobbler etc....

Yeah, it's a bit scary that it was 10 years ago. Where's it gone?

Blimey that seems like half a lifetime ago.
Paul Barker and his mighty 212 sounds rather phallic really...

Nice one !
That's just the output stage of Paul's 212 amp btw !
Look like the 212s are being driven by MH4s into globe PX25s.
Terrifying considering the value of PX25s these days.
Correct
