You may have heard me mention him as "My Tech friend". Lars was in bad health but he was a wealth of knowledge and always willing to give me pointers or walk me thru troubleshooting and repairs. He didn't have any money and frankly was living a pretty crappy existence. But he never complained and was always willing to help me out. I last saw him last Friday and he was in bad shape but he wouldn't let me take him to the hospital. I think he knew the end was near and he accepted it. He died in his sleep Saturday night. Yesterday, I went over to his place (he lived in his shop) and a mutual friend who has stepped up and taken on the job of Lars' final affairs said that he had left me something. Lars gave me a B&K 707 Dyna-Jet tube tester. I don't understand all of the functions, but it has the reference chart and it looks pretty straight forward. Thanks Lars!

Sorry for your loss, Mike. You’ll remember Lars and all he taught you whenever you fire up that Dyna-Jet.
