Well........that was interesting. When my wife complains about my work bench and shop being a mess, I just have to keep telling her "....but it's all GOOD junk". Being surrounded by all the cool "guy" stuff in my own little space is what I need.
BTW, tell us about that old tube amp you show there.
Steve,
The tube amp is a Berning EA2-150.
One of the earliest commercial offerings (late 70's)
from young Mr. Berning who built his stuff in the basement
of his parents house in Potomac, Maryland.
A slightly older Mr. Berning is still in the basement
making, very well thought of, high end stereo gear.
