Yet another piece of equipment I own, now at least I know how to use it. Another Big Thanks

Glad the video was helpful for you.

Nice job. I just bought one and it is on it's way although this one reads in watts not kilowatts. I have the confidence to service it after watching your video, plus that's kind of what I do. I build tube amps too. I'll have to check out your other videos. Thanks.

Interesting that although that watt meter is designed to be used lying on it's back there are feet on the bottom of the instrument. Thanks for the video.

Feet on bottom makes it store easily upright. Thanks for watching!

This might be heresy, but when restoring an instrument for use, leather cases and handles that aren't in pristine condition are something I just let go of - impossible to really clean most of the time, and mold magnets....

Awfully steampunk mechatronics 😅
