I'm not sure if this will work as it's totally up to Mark, but....

I'd be willing to pay to have Mark demonstrate how to "un-do" the bias mod that someone made to my DR-201 many years ago due to the scarcity of proper tubes. I like things to look "stock," and if Mark has the parts, time, and desire I'd be happy to use my amp for a show and tell on how to return such modded amps to "stock." Needless to say, this also depends on whether or not Mark has the parts and such. I sent him a picture of my amp's "innards" last year and can send it again if need be so he can see what he'd have to do. Of course, once again, I say that I'd be happy to pay for parts and Mark's time at his usual labor rate.

And if he'd rather not mess with it, that's ok, too! :D Mark?

I have been thinking of putting one Tech session on Friday around 5:00-6:00pm as Mark has to leave by noon on Sunday.

Worst case, I can do it as long as no one gives me a wet willy!

Egads!

Sure--if you can do it that'll be fine! As I said, it was just something I thought of a few days ago.
