is there a site that helps with those tube amps???

i got a old philips player i want to repair...but i dont know how to

What do you mean "help with those tube amps"? Like how to repair one? Or a technical background as to how they work...

maybe both...cause i have an old reciever and i dont know what to look for to check whats wrong with it...so all info would help...

all i see is wires and a fex tubes...so i know not exactly what im lookin for or how to check to see whats wrong

but more over to how to repair one

Well, it would help to know what problems you're having...

Break out your DMM and start measuring voltages, but do be careful. Most tube gear has several hundred volts going around the chassis...much more than you need to worry about with SS gear.

kool...tommorrow i'll borrow a dmm and get to testing...but is there anything i need to know before i electricute myself with several hundred volts?

it's a term of endearment. <3

Yeah...know what you're doing, first. If you don't know the difference between a B+ lead and a cathode follower, this sort of repair might not be in your best interest. Depends on the scale of the problem though, could just be a simply blown component.

Follow standard procedures when working with HV gear...always work with one hand if possible, don't wear anything potentially conductive, let capacitors discharge overnight, measure every wire to make sure there isn't any voltage on it before you touch it...may seem a little anal about safety, but at those kind of voltages, you won't even feel it go through you. Until you realize you're dead.

Drives like a charm :D

Swapping the lights out right now

when I get a chance on CA I will delete all the posts In think are flat retarted and unfounded,

like the people who have not heard an XXX or an RL-p and just post XXX>RL-p

Dont you mean RL-p> XXX ;)

ok thank you jack...tommorrow I AM A try it out and see what happens...

Well, to my suprise the chevrolet front clip used larger corner lights than the GM one.

So i gotta go get new ones on ebay.

I must say, having bad, no credit is by far the worst thing to have when purchasing a vehicle from a dealer.

My dad was pretty pissed off when we left the lot but hopefully he will cheer up

i just looked guido up on urbandictionary.com cuz idk what it means. does this sound right?

guido

A sad pathetic excuse for a male; not necessarily of Italian descent, but most likely; usually native to the New York/New Jersey Tri-State area.

WARDROBE: tight zipper shirts, tracksuits, designer jeans, fuzzy kangol hats, tiny hoop earrings, fake gold chains, and related Euro-trash garb and tacky cheese-wear.

NATURAL HABITAT: Known to frequent Tri-State area malls looking for club gear to waste their week's pay on (most likely spotted shopping at "Bang Bang" in Staten Island). During the day when not at their food delivery, telemarketting, or construction job, can be located at their local gym tanning or lifting weights. Can be found nightly at mainstream danceclubs they read about online (SF, Webster Hall, Etc.). Most notable for cruising the Jersey shore in an old car (Honda, Mustang, etc.) which has been tinted, painted and sports $1,000-$3,000 rims in a feeble attempt to look like new. Guido cars usually have a boomin' system through which cheesy music like freestyle, commercial club/trance and hip-hop (anything KTU plays) is loudly blasted.

GENETIC LINKS: Directly related to modern day urban-guidos, A.K.A. "wiggers," A.K.A. "wegros;" urban-guidos are white males who once exhibited the traits referenced above, but have now instead opted to keep it unreal, with wardrobes consisting of clothes from labels like FUBU and Rocawear which they bought on sale at Macy's. These individuals still listen to the same music and drive the same type of car as their predecessor; it is usually just their choice of attire and use of slang and poor speech skills that differentiate them from the classic guido. Most guidos are distrusting of non-whites despite the fact some of their attire and music can be traced to non-white origins.

PASSTIMES/RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES: Guidos enjoy beating up a non-white or homosexual while assisted by a group of 5-10 guido friends backing them up; engaging in date rape; and displaying their lack of rhythm by dancing poorly in the middle of a club's dance floor while non-guidos look on in disbelief.

You didn't know what a guido was?

I knew a few...

insert "I'm with Guido" smiley here...

negative. not a term ever used around here.

i didnt hear the term till i was watching conan, which films in new york.
