New poster here, but a long time AK denizen. Wanted to say hi, and since this is a requirement before posting any technical questions, well...Hi!
I've been working on audio gear since around 2000...started with basic recaps of working gear and have delved into bringing back non-working gear. Mainly Solid State, but have done some work on tube gear. I have no formal electronics background, and limited test equipment, but have learned a bunch over the years and have had many successes. Unfortunately, a couple have me somewhat stumped, and due to the lack of information I can find (especially one piece) or the poor-ish quality of one service manual (combined with my lack of circuit knowledge), I haven't quite figured them out. Anywho, full-time job takes me out of the country for a day or two (usually weekly), so I end up having a start-stop-start-stop sequence of working on the gear, some projects dragging on quite awhile due to that and family obligations. Lots of other hobbies too....homeowner DIY, photography, coffee roasting, beer brewing, etc.
I've come across many Google-search posts linked from here, so I know the community is active and well versed. I just hope I can bring something to the table too.

Thanks for the welcome. I guess this means I can now post, and will start just a thread about it....🙂
