Had a guy bring a Heath SB-220 down from Cincinnati to get "beefed up" for AM hotrodding. Would take about 200 Watt peaks to get 2kW PEP out of it.

Then he said it was time to bring in his driver from the car to try. Turns out to have eight 8950 tubes in it. I insisted on getting paid for the job BEFORE trying it out.

Saw an actual 3500 Watts peak coming out of it. He was happy, and took it home. Heard later that it lasted a week running it that way.

Can't explain how it possibly survived that long.
