Re: Fifty years - can you believe it?

I had never met Ralph until last month in Las Vegas. I had always felt guilty though, for building a pair of knock off MA-1 amps about 12 years ago, using a schematic obtained from a third party.

Then at THE Show, I noticed that Ralph was sitting across the table at lunch. I 'fessed up and told him about my amps. He wasn't the least bit upset, and gave me several tips on the circuit. Later that day Ralph visited our demo room, just as I was pulling an amp out of service because I couldn't balance the DC from the output. Next thing I knew, Ralph was on the floor pulling hot output tubes until he found the offender with a broken fuse link. What a guy!

Hope you had a great birthday, Ralph.
