Oh, I love this! The 12AX7, great preamp hero for 50 years. Music would have sounded different in our lifetime without this little hard worker. Great photo!

Valves......mmmmmm. I guess that the valve is installed upside down in the cabinet?

 

[Pete Askew]

Very nice Rense. Love the reflection.

Thanks a lot!

Yes, these valves are upside down in the solid pinewood cabinet of my little hero, the Fender Vibro Champ (a 1979 silverface)...

And here's the front of the cabinet, or at least the dials...

Those dials - now you're talking - how retro is that!
