LOL...well I am sure I could charge up a cap with a 9 volt battery that would wake you right up.
Solid state is great. It opens up a whole new universe of possibilities.
You need to come to Miami and visit me. Plenty fun stuff to do here that I can take you around to do and see.
Of course there is about 10 boxes of old carbon resisters I could use a hand sorting out...lol This is what purist demand when repairing vintage amps.
I am sure I must have over 5000 sorted resistors of several types on hand, funny, I am not sure how it could be possible not to have a 3.9K I needed for this little amp...lol

EDIT: I got these by the pound from an old radio/TV repair shop. They are a bit of a pain to use. They require testing each one (really need testing under a load) and sanding down the leads to remove the years of oxides. I got around 10 pounds as I remember.
