I got my amp back. He stated he was in the hospital, and is quite sick.
The amp works great, but he forgot to ship the Mullard EL34s that I sent with the amp.
I have a feeling he is much more ill than he lets on..
Well, to be honest, for me its a little hard to deal with this situation because Im not even in the USA to try to pay Jim a visit.
I have sent him more than 8 mails and nothing.

(Maybe I'll get shot). Assuming he's not dying I think it will get him to move. Open offer Good luck guys.
