heheh!!...if you screw it up, I saw a pair on Ebay the other day for only
$800.00 (for the pair)....used....... with clipped filament ends.

Didn't some of the first ones use the VF14 tube? The Wunders use an EF14
with a mod and they sound wonderful. I was thinking of snagging a VF14 for
it and sending it back to Mike Castoro for a retrofit, but I don't trust
used EBay tubes that cost over $1k and NOS VF14's from a reputable dealer
are insanely expensive.....

I'm gonna have to get a wide angle lens for our Canon Rebel so I can create
a foldout.
