An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Perhaps the builder was attempting to get rid of his significant other's cat(s)?

Here in California you'd still get sued, it's not in Spanish in addition to English lol

I sometimes buy failed tube amp projects from ebay, to recover the transformers and other parts. On the last "perfectly working" one, the main filter capacitor was secured under the chassis with Blu-Tack, and the bottom cover underneath was covered with duct tape (just in case).

It's a good strategy, really.. so long as you can be reasonably sure that the thing didn't run long enough to damage any of the 'hard' parts, botched builds are a good source of shelf stock.

And even when buying "nice" equipment.. always remember that they ALL worked FINE the LAST TIME they were used.

I love the ads with 'unable to test' in the description - when the seller's items for sale include piles of other electronic and audio gear.

Yes, UATT is typical eBay code for "This thing is so fscked up, you don't dare connect it to a power source. Last time I did, it almost burned down the house."
