greetings

for some reason your pix are not showing up, they may be too big. when you upload in your 'manage attachments' window, it will let you know there if they were not uploaded due to the size. hope this helps out else others will be along...best of luck with the amp
 
thats exactllly what happen i can not figure out how to make the image smaller i tryied to use one program but couldnt figure out how to use it :confused: any one now of a very easy to use program or way to make pictures smaller thanx kd2aag
 
Check the settings on your camera. I first got a "real" digital camera a couple of years ago. The factory setting for the resolution was insanely high - one picture was about 6MB! I checked the camera documentation (Nikon Coolpix 4000) and changed the resolution to about 28-30 KB. I can't see any difference with my old eyes, but it's a lot easier to email pictures with the smaller resolution.
 
pictures for the second time

i do beleive i have them uploaded this time

You got a heck of a deal there for $25!
The tubes alone are worth $100 for the 5 used ones.
That insulation is most delecate on those heavy wires. Tape up the bad spots.
Re-install that tranny and see what comes on. Tube filaments, panel lamps?
At least the fan on the back?
