too funny!

Ten year old reference already indicates parts supply problems with older products. I could buy a pair of M300 for $800 with one of them having damaged PSU.
Theta Digital operations disappeared with all documentation and the leftover parts supply due to a bankruptcy process. There is NOTHING left of it.
Audio Research was close to that fate at times and it is not given it won't be soon enough again. I'd bet my money they won't survive another 10 years. If old references to painted parts origins are gone or misplaced in the process their former customers will be pretty much fucked in a case of troubles or the designs will have to be hacked.
The old amps power supply designs are marginal and rely on selected parts. If that part is no longer available the supply requires a re-design. A DIY may attempt it and make it Non Audio Research. For the Pro to do it and charge the customer for the work -sure but it costs $$$ and good luck finding the engineer willing to execute it.
Why do I even bother to discus things with people who can't tell transistor from resistor and are sending amps to ARC to change the tubes because they have no idea how to bias it?

I was building Dynakits more than fifty years ago. I learned about RN60D metal film types from Frank Van Alstine shortly afterwards. Smart people ask questions. Others choose to make $hit up and argue with their imagination.
Biasing the tubes on my VTL amps is pretty easy procedure using a VOM. If you were smarter, you'd already know that by clicking my moniker to follow system details/pics. ;)
I'm not interested in people's systems. You said it yourselves that you send your ARC stuff to Minnesota. By the level of your understanding of what I was saying to you I assumed what followed.
My resistor related comment was caused by Abe's reaction when I asked him about color codes on Fets in his VT 100 example. He explained to me the system of coding resistors.
I suggest you to tone it down because you sound unreasonable throughout the whole exchange. I'm infinitely more familiar with ARC than you are.

With no attempt to embrace reality, you just make $hit up! Continually. Like a fool.
He explained to me the system of coding resistors.
Why do you continue to address *me* with things posted by other inmates? Is your memory that shot?
Pathetic.
Nothing unusual at this hour on Friday.
Have another one and forget about this conversation.
