[BretLudwig]

A large number of square stamped pans nearly perfect in size to build a
monoblock tube amplifier are being turned out by one of the large burger
chains as they change their equipment out. They are stainless steel and of
pretty good thickness. Restaurant supply outfits have them for a couple
dollars apiece. My source won't say which chain but I suspect Wendy's.

They have a raised rolled lip that will take a cover by sliding on, and
the sides have a nice rebate that will make a good front and rear panel in
either orientation.

I've had great success with the rectangular sterilizer trays used by
a lot of VA hospitals. They have a sliding cover that locks and a
bottom that is heavy gauge perf, like old microwave oven door screens.
They are a nonmagnetic stainless steel or some alloy like K-Monel.
Unfortunately unless they're completely trashed, they aren't surplus-
they're stolen. I found that out after building several S-Line power
supplies on them. They're well over $100 new apiece and they last 40+
years.

I liked your suggestion of automatic transmission oil pans until I
went to look for some. Most are too small or have a weird shape.

Spend $129 and buy a painted chassis from me, designed just for
tube-o-philes. No nasty staph germs waiting inside:

Promoted yourself, have you, Yaeger? Last time I heard you were

Perhaps he has, Andre. However you will always look up to him - that
will never change.

You're supposed to lick the dildo first and then use it for stimulation. See
what happens when you do it backwards? Everything tastes like ****.

I knew that little bit of self-promotion would flush you out of hiding, like
a flashlight does to a roach. Now where, pray tell, is your sycophant West?

Someone should donate a mains-operated dildo to Worthless Wiecky, self-
declared "repair hack".

You made my day, George.

That's what follows from wanton cross-posting.

You might be interested to learn how Wiecky spends his offline time.
Sometimes he waddles down to the park and prances around nearly naked:

See that blotch on his left thigh? Looks like an attempted hickey gone way

Worthless pouts and sulks.

Are you suggesting everybody should be as miserable as you?
