That's not the stock 350 and 5psd - IIRC they didn't make convertable IROC's w/ 350's and 5spds.

I'll type up my spec list after for ya.

If it's a receiver, I'd pass. If it's a tuner, depends on what kind...problem with old tubed radios are that they might need an alignment, early FM stereo receivers that are tubed may have horrible MPX decoding for the stereo signal. Just isn't stable enough usually.

First time I've had to do it on the XPS in the two years I've had it...so I consider myself lucky.

Thinking about running a version of Linux, with OpenOffice, just for times like two weeks ago when the OS goes kaput and I can't make it home to reinstall everything.

Its an old stereo cabinet w/ turntable in it and AM/FM tuner. I'm not sure what kind, I didn't see a brand on it, it says 45wrms?? The cabinet's in pretty good shape though. IDK...

Once school gets out, I'm reformatting my machine dual boot w/ standard windows and 64 bit WinXP

When I was unpacking chit that I brought back from winter break, I had a pair of 6CG7 preamp tubes...one got crushed and the little tip was broken off.

I cried a little...

Hey Jim, on my behringer tube preamp... To replace the tubes, Do I just pull the black plastic thing off the top of the tubes, then pull the tubes straight out, or what? Another thing when I get home is to replace them w/ some of those Sovteck ones(whatever the spelling is).

[JimJ 11]

What's more annoying then installing XP is reinstalling all the other programs and little chit, like Photoshop, Itunes, Winamp, FF, AIM, and the like...

Black plastic thing? I assume that's some sort of tube damper or something...but you're right. Just pull it firmly out, not too difficult.

Sovtek 12AX7LPS's are probably the best new production version out there, unless you go new old stock (which get expensive quick).

[JimJ 11]

The other versions of 12AX7's that Sovtek makes are basically crap.
