You have a DIY two-slot toaster containing 16 KT88 tubes.

I remember John McIntyre telling me back in the 90's that when he would make a new layout (Bluesmaker, Prince o' Wails etc) that he would have his wife proof the layout by building it!

You know you're an amp builder when you get a package from Doug's Tubes, you open the package and carefully open one of the boxes. You gently pull the 6V6 out of the box and a tear comes to your eye. "Oh, such a cute little tube!"

[Structo]

Yes amen.

Doug is among the few that burns in the tubes before he matches them.
Have never been disappointed with the tubes I got from him.
