Sugden A48 amp looking great and sounding good too. Not bad for something made in 1978. A missing strip at the top for dial labels but itβs fairly obvious whatβs what. Next to test phono preamp section and complete repairs on the turntable. #Repair

Mixed results at the Repair Shop yesterday. Tannoy subwoofer power board has really bad damage from components that have overheated and destroyed the pcb in the process. Common fault. Sugden amp progressing well with cover being resprayed after cleaning and testing. Working on record deck next.

Greenland has a 'vital strategic asset'
A sheet of ice two miles thick (and also some remarkable people)
As everyone talks about Greenland, don't forget its actual global significance--a two mile thick sheet of ice that if melted would raise the sea level 23 feet (and long before that choke off the currents of the Atlantic)
