Que up the Cars!

Hi! Just dropped in to say hello. Won't be posting much, just want to reconnect with some old acquaintances.  Hope all are well and all is well.

Welcome to the Hoffman Amps forum

There are many different boards on this forum for different topics.

The Tube Amp Building - Tweaks - Repairs board is where you can post amp questions.

That board is listed here.
https://el34world.com/Forum/index.php?board=13.0

Thanks,
Doug Hoffman

Hey. Come on in. Take your shoes off and sit a spell. What'cha been up to this past year? We've missed you. Hasn't been quite the same without you.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Doing well, thanks! Hope all is and all are well with you and yours.

Hobbies have taken a back seat since COVID hit, that and now that I mostly work from home, it has/had put a damper on recreational things. I focused mostly on getting healthy-er - dropped about 90#.

Been messing with a Sears Silvertone 1485. Fixing the reverb ckts was a bit of a challenge, also, I was asked to clone a Sunn Model T for a friend.  I'll post on those soon.

Other than that, we've been just working on trying to get things back to less crazy.   :icon_biggrin:

Hey Pete, Glad you are OK.
As I get older life seems to be speeding up.
I'm working harder than ever to keep up with the cost of living down under.
Makes it hard to squeeze in the projects :sad2:

Thanks Tim! Yes, I know what you mean - I'll start my workday and then realize that the day is almost over, when I try to recall the the day's work, amazed that the day went by so quickly. COL is a drag these days. $12-$15USD for a decent lunch is ridiculous, $4 for decent cup of coffee is almost criminal. Hopefully you're spinning something kooky up soon.  :icon_biggrin:

Hope all are well and all is well otherwise.

Long time lurker here. Good to see you resurface and hope your health gets better everyday  :thumbsup: I thought Doug's post was a bit cool but then worked out it was a bot post 1 second after yours  :icon_biggrin:
