Got to band practice tonight and discovered my amp has gone tits up. Ugh. I managed to kill an 80s era Peavey tube amp, which are notoriously reliable. Built like a tank but I managed to run it into the ground.
too much time spent on 11!
But that's the thing... At 120w of tube powered fury, 12 o'clock is face melting loud. Never even gotten close to the redline.
I bet it just needs tubes replaced. I forget the source, but there are still 1 or 2 companies making new tubes for things like that.
She's rocking some NOS Mesa Boogie power tubes, I really hope those are ok. But there are also like 5x preamp tubes, original as far as I know.

The meatware often behave like animals...
lol
...
seriously though, IIRC, NTG are making software for vets.
I would imagine that this hiring is QA testing, sales, and credibility all rolled into one. -
@RojoLoco Find your local ham radio club; in mine we have 2 or 3 guys with both tubes and the expertise to repair all sorts of tube gear.

Not a bad plan, I am dreading the labor rate at Acorn amps.

NTG Vet, it's a subsidiary that buys and/or operates veterinary clinics.

Actually, that's Quixotic, which is a partner, but not actually under NTG.
NTG Vet is actually under NTG (if the name didn't give it away) and is "Veterinary Operations Outsourcing". For all intents and purposes, they are what a high end MSP is for the IT world, but for the entire operational stack for veterinary clinics.

How did you move into veterinarian stuff from the IT world?

Well, was I ever really an IT guy? I've always been a business guy, IT is just the infrastructure of business. I was a developer and an operations specialist before going into IT, and I've been a manager of all kinds of things. Most of our real skills in IT are those of business (and common sense.) So when doing IT well, we are naturally poised to do all kinds of things well.
