I got home from my biopsy`s last night to find my new F1 signature in the hallway waiting patiently for me...

Two box`s..in with huge tubes, the other with the SLI-80 F1 Signature in British Racing Green..!!

Unfortunatly, with the pain that I`m in, and the 60+ lbs that it weighs, I am not able to pick it up...

The holes that the Doc`s made on my insides will start o bleed internally if I attempt to pick it up...

Bummmer... :(

Talk about a tease...!!

I will shoot picks as I open , and install, the badest, coolest, hipest integrated made...
It has point to point wiring, upgraded caps...all the upgraded bells and whistles..

Gotta go see if I can get her up the stairs...wait one..

    Take it easy Robert, and congrats on the new toys - but I'm more concerned about the 'other'. Keep us in the loop.

    Cheers,

    Robert, when they tell you don't do any heavy lifting, THEY MEAN IT! It's not just a risk of bleeding, you stand the chance of giving yourself a hernia!

    That equipment isn't worth you landing yourself back in the hospital with far worse problems!!!

    And with the way you just spelled PILLS :D you just might hook the poor thing up the wrong way & blow it up! :eek: :p

    GO LIE DOWN & TAKE IT EASY BUD! :D

    Congrats on the awesome equipment!

    But like everyone else says...as long as it's not somewhere outside...leave it be. It can wait 'til you get better or you can find someone else to lift it for you. Don't want bleeding, I'm sure, and I KNOW you don't want a hernia from personal experience.

    Thats for sure. Depends on the cameras metering ability. I stick my Canon 10D on a tripod and meter off the available light. Bracketing a stop either way with exposure time helps. You can only do so much to make an underexposed pic look good in Photoshop.

    tubessm.jpg

    My Uncle was a TV repair guy and he always had tube gear around for repair. He taught me the basics when I was a kid. I have always liked the glow of tubes and seeing it reminds me of the time spent with him.

    EDIT: Don't use up all your adrenaline with your gear. Get some rest. Or try and get some rest....

    Neat man. First order of business for you is to get those nasty EH 6SN7's out of there. I'll see If I can dig you up a pair of Sylvania brown base.

    The Jensen caps are as good as it gets, in my book. I'd put Sonicap behind them, and Sonicap is awesome. I've got my Anthem modded with the Jensens also, you're in for treat.
