@weebeesdad, yep, Tom Carione is still at Brooks Berdan Ltd. in Monrovia, CA. He's in the shop on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and is a great tech. He did (Brooks left us awhile back, but his widow Sheila has kept the shop going) all Brooks' bench jobs except for turntable stuff, at which Brooks' was the master. ARC's Bill Johnson had Brooks come out to his winter home in Palm Desert to set up his table. Tom knows both tube and solid state electronics, and has worked on just about everything.
