1. HAHA i would love to see that
2. I know someone will try to flame me.. but this is just a QUESTION. Would it be possible to replace some of those tubes with solid state.. kind of like, eliminate a whole rack of tubes with a tiny circuit board? it'd be cool to just have the VR1000 with a backpack of solid state electronics make it work. I suppose that kind of defeats the nostalgia and the character of the old beast. Be fun to stick some in a TK-41 so it runs cooler...
