Did the South Bay surplus crawl this afternoon with another BADIYEGger; we visited ACE Components, Excess Solutions, and Anchor Electronics in that order. ...
And I'll actually be there as a vendor this time, with another member of BADIYEG. We'll have a flier about the group, so come by and say hello if you make it. ...
I attended the Livermore Area Radio Klub Swap Meet on the 7th as a seller for the first time. What I brought was a couple of boxes of "pull" tubes, tubes that...
This is Erik your group maintainer. Just wanted to drop in since activity in the message base has been light. I hope you all are finding the links to be of...
Last weekend my girlfriend and I took a trip to Santa Cruz for her niece's graduation, so I took the opportunity to swing by the South Bay surplus dealers on...
Hello Erik and all BADIYEG members: I've enjoyed reading everyone's posts......my email-silence has more to do with my inactivity than any lack of interest....
... Hi Erik! Nice set of links so far. How about adding links to businesses that do peripheral things that hobbyists need? I'm talking about metal and other ...
... Thank Gawd they moved and didn't close up. I'd talked to the owner about a year and a half back and he was talking about moving to Gilroy which would have...
Sellam, I think that's a great idea; we've had requests for metal fabricators (I need one myself). As a member of the group, you should be able to add links...
You and me both. For me, it functioned not just as a source for parts, materials, and equipment, but as a social center. Jay was usually up for shooting the ...
I have a friend with a Big Muff who gave it to me to mod. He complained of volume drop when he switched it on. He also wanted true bypass. I was suprised to...
Anthony, It's very "worth it" to add true bypass. The electronic construction on them is still kinda rugged in that '70's E-H way. The box does not have an...
And if I can add my $0.02 in here from my experience playing with old Big Muffs, the first things I'd check are the tone/bypass switch (if it has one) and the...
Thanks for the input guys, this sounds like a routine fix. As far as "trouble finding an accurate value" what I meant was a monetary value; what's it worth as...
I've seen them range wildly. I think I paid $40 for one on eBay because it was just listed as "Big Muff" with no additional descriptors. I've seen them go for...
I had a great time at the Flea Market this weekend. I got to meet Erik (Hello again!)and we had a nice chat. I managed to pick up a couple of deals. A Boss...
Recently aquired an Ampeg v4. I tried to pull one of the original tubes and POP! just like that it busted. I've got a pratice tonight and wanted to play it...
Anthony, I can sell you a matched quad of 6L6's if it's not too late. Actually, I can even if it is too late. Installing a pot to make the bias adjustable is a...
Starving Musician in Berkeley sells tubes, as does Flashback Guitars in Oakland (closed Mondays). Even Guitar Center sells them. Probably no 7027's, but as you...
My tube dealer and I worked the <a href= "http://www.asvaro.org/" >ASVARO Electronics Flea Market</a> in Cupertino last month and had a good day. He sold tons...
... I must say they're doing OK inspite of the shit location. One of these days I'll have to follow through on my plan to help them secure a better venue....
I'm in oakland and am rebuilding a DIY guitar amp project that went bad. Where do you go for power supply and signal capacitors? hammond or similar chassis?...
The signal caps may be had at Jameco, ACE, Anchor, or Excess.Torres Engineering in San Mateo is the only place I know of to purchase power supply caps and tube...
You should also be able to find chassis, high voltage caps, and tube sockets at Halted. Don't know if it's worth the drive though. Jameco does have a few 450V...
Another BADIYEG member and I have been discussing the possibility of holding a swap meet with a musical electronics orientation. The swaps/flea markets that...
