Oh Yeah, You're hooked now.
Tubes are actually alive little critters and once they know you're interested, they've got you. They demand involvement, real "care and feeding" kind of stuff. It appears you'd stumbled into their trap many years ago, (like 30) so you've already got lots of usefull experence to build on.
Get a good VTVM and some tweeking rods and have fun!

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...
