Well........just a short while ago we got John Kent to look at an oldish Swimming Pool that was producing slightly uneven flashes if used in quick succession. On inspecting the unit , John asked me how long I'd owned it for. I had to 'fess up that I'd bought it secondhand from a fashion smudger together with the accompanying valve driven 5000 console back in the early eighties and it was old then ( but a bargain! ). John explained that it might just be needing a spare tube as the dodgy one in question was about thirty seven years old. Okay , it's had a fair hammering ,especially of late what with the multiple capture for digital , and in the past thirty seven years what with the multiple flash for 10x8 and all those model shots. And it's been across the Atlantic four times when I've moved to and from the States. But apart from that I've hardly ever used it in anger on Sundays (well maybe sparingly) . And I've kept it company with some youthful later SWPs, SSFFs and SFFs together with some fancy consoles with more switches , noisy bits , glowing neons and the odd transistor or two. A new tube !! What's the world coming to ? Regards, Bob Marchant. =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
