    Just wanted to note that if you're worried about signing up for a tube amp loaner because of tubes, don't be with this one. It's going to ship in a padded Pelican-like case inside a well-padded cardboard box, and the tubes--aside from being darn near indestructible on their own--will be well-packed inside a mega sturdy PVC tube in the shipping box. Although its a transformer-coupled amp, it's not super heavy and the box isn't super big, so shipping won't be outrageous.

    @philipmorgan - is this out to @Hands? My fault if you were waiting on me. Let's get this started.

    For those who haven't done so already for this loaner, please send $10 to [email protected] - put the name of this loaner and your handle in the notes.

    Thanks.

    Are there slots open for this loaner still? If so, may I join? I'm in CT. I have a BH SEX which is also transformer coupled, so it'll be interesting to listen to this.

    The amp is on its way to @Hands.

    Here's what's coming in the package:

    IMG_9004.jpg

    The replacement tubes are in those blue boxes, and the original tubes are wrapped in bubble wrap inside the PVC pipe.

    EDIT: More info on the tubes included with this:

    It uses a 6ZH1P driver tube and a 6N24P power tube per channel.

    I'm including the tubes that came with it (shipped in the PVC tube) and some spares I got (in the blue boxes in the case w/the amp).

    For the spares, I got a pair of Voshkod 6ZH1P-EV from Tubes Unlimited, and a pair of these from ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/262214258641

    I'd like to join in. I'll be in DC late next month so put me further back in the line if necessary.

    I'm fine if we reorder based on location too. @batriq and I are both in New England, but not sure where @jacq and @Merrick are located. @Hands is in Colorado.

    This list is alright. It'll go from CO to NE, then to Jacq in FL, followed by HMF in DC so he has time to get there and back west from there to Merrick by the time he gets to OR.

    You can have my spot if you like and the powers-that-be approve. Hands is in CO too.

    The amp is currently there in the @Hands lair so that could be good timing but I'll let @sphinxvc make the final call.
