Here are the three pics I snapped after unboxing my 36W TMB EF86 almost a year ago. Hard to believe it's been that long. The honeymoon is still not over! In it right now I have the JJ GZ34 rectifier, an NOS Sylvania 6267 in Vo, RI Tung Sol ECC803S in V1, Mullard CV4024 in V2, and JJ power tubes (better than the blackplate Sylvanias I bought for it actually) and it lives in a smallbox head cab I got from Anthony at Reason for $110 shipped. (He's great BTW!) I have a pic of that somewhere... hmmm.

Yes. Those are Carbon Comps for plate resistors, and yes... they do make a difference.
