Rich from Hideous Creep decided it was time to introduce his vintage Peavey Butcher to the fine art of beer drinking. It went about as well as my first beer. The power tube board was pretty crispy. But these old Peaveys were built tough. After some new sockets and a good scrub we were back in business. In my clumsy excitement I manage to spike one of Rich's old tubes like a football. Fortunately, I had been saving a matched set of NOS Sovtek wafer base 6L6s for a rainy day.
