I lent the FenderAmpstheFirst50Years book and the old Weber book to Scott 
the amp guy yesterday.  He has a tweed something coming his way from 
Junkyard Guitars (Royal Oak, MI. They've been advertising in VG for nearly 
a year now).  He makes extra bucks doing these farm-out jobs for JG.
RL>There's all kinds of uses for SCRs and triacs.  They're

Yeah, I know.  I just didn't visualize them in non-FET audio stuff.

Yeah, I know that too (still have all my old NatSemi books around the 
Lab).  I was being fatecious.
