I am not much on introductions, but my name is Craig. I work on electronics as a hobby and make noise with my guitar (probably doesn't qualify as music). I have worked on tube radios since I was a kid (1970's), these days several decades later I have a decent collection. Some of those date back to the early 30's. I am also an amateur historian, amateur radio operator... and for fun I am the mayor of the small town I am in. I get bored easily.
My guitar playing is similar to my radio repair hobby (actually I am much better at repairing vintage electronics). I have beat on a guitar since I was a kid, never mastered it, but I do it as a hobby, and as a result, I have a few old amplifiers (and some newer ones). Some of those amplifiers are of course tube type. I am about to rebuild my grandfathers old Silvertone 1472 that hasn't been used since his death in the 70's. I am also working on my first amp that quit and was placed in a closet.
I figured I would come here to see if I could learn anything and maybe offer something in return!
