PRINTING
Wix (bless 'em 😖) have changed their image format - again - to avif just to make them awkward to print. Unless you want to buy a converter, the easiest way to make a hard copy is:
-
Left click when the magnifying glass icon appears and wait for the picture to clear.
(On a touch screen, tap on the image). This will display a higher res file. -
Right click and 'save image as' to somewhere as an avif file.
(On a touch screen, touch and hold down to view the menu) -
Upload the saved file to your Google Drive.
-
Open the file and use the print menu to make a hard copy or save as a pdf.

Selmer Treble 'N' Bass 50 Reverb Tank
LEFT and BELOW:
Rubber bands don't generally last for 50 years, so that rattling noise is probably the reverb tank destroying itself. This one's down to one spring with no sign of the other one.
It's an unbranded type 8 stamped only with 'JAPAN' and possibly a replacement. The catalogue entry (see top of page) describes a type 4C - the full length version with a 200ohm input impedance - which wouldn't fit in the cover. This one measured as a type 8A with a 10ohm input and 12K output impedance.
