I liked this. It helps if you can mentally substitute "valve" for "toob":

    good stuff

    Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

    That Mullard film was fantastic. I would watch it for the machines alone. (I seriously doubt if there are many people left who could design those things, and not a CAD station or a stepper-motor in sight!)

    Loved it.

    Wow'd

    We certainly knew how to make stuff back then. A lot of skills sadly lost
