That's right,forgot about him, I didn't call him "the amp wizzard", but could have, it fits. He lived just up the hill from us and worked on everything tubes. His shop had a special smell, one I remember from the Navy working on,Yup, Tube electronics. Can you imagine tube COMPUTERS? Not just the soviets but us too!
He was a good old dude, last time I saw him was in the late 70s, my Dad gave him a Halicrafters short-wave set that needed attention, unfortunately he died before getting it back in shape-wonder whatever happened to that thing.
Anyway, thanks for setting me down this stretch of memory lane.
There was another place in Seattle when we were in drydock...
