I used up teh ones in mine!

I hooked a filter in backwards and got some sparks, turned it around, it shorted and took out all five, brand new JAN tubes to boot.
Got it working but never did finish it up, I just got tired of messing with it after that.

the other one has the normal power supply and a much nicer cabinet, maybe I'll restore it now that they're worth a grand!
