I'll be "running the gauntlet" again this weekend... this time to pick up one of the very early PCB DR504 Hylights.

No cavity searches, Interpol screenings or other issues... 
My son made the trip with me. And #14872 made it home safely.
Sounded good and HIWATT-ey when I tried it, though it does have a bit of the 2-holer "splatty" thing when dimed, and probably needs a Canadian de-mod. Pics and more later.
edit: just had to pull it out of the sleeve...
Tested 27/8/80. Everything looks original, except the filter caps and one output valve base (just replaced), the usual Canadian 120v and gain mods, and some cab & chassis mounting screws. And eight all-new E-H valves (including an AX7 in the PI)... soon to be replaced.

?Congrats on the succesful border run, mikhailwatt. That one's a mere 4 months "newer" than my PCB SA112.
